Sunday Night Music: Boukuru's "Ntacyo Mbaye"

Few rising artists blend the new and the old. At twenty-seven, Boukuru (born Christiane Uwase Bukuru) is already carving out a unique space in the music scene, seamlessly blending tradition with modernity. With a voice that resonates across genres — from soulful ballads to the rich rhythms of Rwandan folk music — she has graced more stages than most rising stars could dream of, captivating audiences at both intimate private gatherings and grand public ceremonies.

Where is headed? To truly uncover the depth of her talent and the direction of her musical journey, there's only one way: follow the call of her voice.

In July, Boukuru released her debut eleven-track album named "Gikundiro". This week, we invite you to listen to it; starting with our current favourite, Ntacyo Mbaye.

Find "Gikundiro" on Spotify and Apple Music.
