“Ihorere Mwana w’Ibuhoro” is a beautiful example of Gakondo, Rwanda’s traditional music style, characterized by the use of the inanga (a traditional stringed instrument) and vocal harmonies. This song is deeply rooted in Rwandan culture and was popularized by Jean Marie Muyango in the 1990s.
Featuring: Nsanzamahoro Janvier (Inanga & vocals), Niyonkuru Aman (vocals), Uwimana Gatoya Christian (vocals)
