Worship and Praise Music Artist, Israel Mbonyi remembers all those who have a talent for singing regardless at their age. He set up a very simple way that will help them to illuminate their talents and enable them to enter into their calling to serve God through worship.
“It’s so sad that an artist who has been entertaining people at concerts has to struggle because of this pandemic. We are all aware that there is far less investment in Gospel than secular musicians,” said Mike Karangwa, the project coordinator of Rwanda Gospel Stars Live.
“It’s not a competition, but a platform to support our artistes doing gospel music so it can change their lives. For us, this is a life-changing platform with music shows that can finally link gospel musicians and their supporters to keep them connected through entertainment” said Samuel Nyandwi, the Managing Director of Matts Rwanda services, the company organizing the event.
Nyandwi added that the concept is there to stay, with a target to expand it from a national level to a regional level and even make it continental.
Organizers of the event are currently doing awareness about the event among different gospel musicians before they announce the top ten that will take part in the first edition of the event that kicks off in the first week of June.
The 10 artists will be selected based on the experience they have in music, how active they have been, have at least two albums or at least a music video that has no less than one million views on YouTube.
They will be selected by a team of journalists, gospel musicians’ associations and music pioneers closely following the gospel music industry.
They are joined by the five most performing up-and-coming artists who will also be selected to do curtain-raising performances during the live shows which start by the beginning of July.
The shows will be broadcast live on KC2, an entertainment TV channel courtesy of Rwanda Broadcasting Agency, whereby a lineup of two top gospel artists and one upcoming artist will be performing every Saturday.
During the whole campaign, participating artists will be given numbers to which supporters can use to send their support through what is dubbed ‘vote and support’ system.
With the system, Karangwa said they are looking forward to raising funds to support artists.
People will be able to support their favorite artists with the ‘vote and support’ process by dialing *544# and follow prompts and every artist will be getting a report about the support from the ‘vote and support’ system on their emails on a regular basis.
“Like secular artistes, gospel artists also want to see their music make an impact on their lives, spiritually and financially. That’s why they need our support. The music they do cost them money and their lives rely on none but what they get from music,” said Assoumpta Muganwa, the Vice President of Rwanda Gospel Music Union.
Supporters will be able to support their favorite artists with any amount not less than Rwf200.
After the month-long performances, artists will undergo a one-week boot camp to get training sessions on music entrepreneurship and music business. With the training package, artists will pitch and present project proposals that can make an impact on the development of Rwanda’s gospel music industry.
The top three projects will get funding during the finals slated for August 29.

In a live interview, Gisele Precious told us that the song "UMUSARABA" (The 'cross') was written during the 'COVID Stay at Home' period after reading God's Word about
The Cross based on the scripture of 1 Corinthians 1:18.
“I wrote a song on the cross during the lockdown period after reading The Bible. The message in the song comes to remind people of the power of the cross of Jesus and its value to those who believe in Jesus.", She said.
Precious also added that fans should expect more new songs in the future because she still has more songs to come out from her ongoing second album in the making. “This is the second song on my second album so feel free to expect more songs from this album! " said Precious.

Gospel music stars Aline Gahongayire and Serge Rugamba have just released the video for their song dubbed, “Umwami Yesu.”
The track was originally written and sung by seasoned worship singer Alexis Dusabe, 10 years ago. The inspiring and fascinating video was directed by Borris and Video by Harris. It is inspired by the crucifixion and resurrection of Jesus Christ.
The duo hopes that the song will uplift Rwandans, as it’s a call for people to put their trust and hope in Jesus during these uncertain times. For Gahongayire, “Umwami Yesu” represents her passion for Christ, as she continues her journey as a gospel musician, and her social impact initiatives, which include ‘Mvura Nkuvure’, ‘Ndineza’ and ‘We for Love’, among others.
*Chorus*
Ndanyuzwe mu mutima wanjye
mfite indirimbo ibihumbi,
ntarindi jambo nshaka kuvuga
usibye irigushima
Am grateful in my heart
I have thousands of songs
I have nothing else to say
Other than praise you
*Verse1*
Uwiteka nje imbere yawe nciye bugufi mfite byinshi byo kukubwira ariko reka mpitemo kimwe,
_Si uko amarira yashize_
_Si uko ibibazo birangiye_
_Ni umutima unyuzwe_
I humbly come to you oh lord
With much to tell you but I just chose one
Not because I cry no more
Not because problems are over
But because of a grateful heart
Uwiteka nje imbere yawe ongera unyumve wakire iyi ndirimbo kuko imvuye Ku mutima
_Si uko amarira yashize_
_Si uko ibibazo birangiye_
_Ni umutima unyuzwe_
*Chorus*
Ndanyuzwe mu mutima wanjye
mfite indirimbo ibihumbi,
ntarindi jambo nshaka kuvuga
usibye irigushima.
Am grateful in my heart
I have thousands of songs
I have nothing else to say
Other than praise you (Other than saying thank you)
*Verse2*
Uwiteka nje imbere yawe nibutse byabihe
ndumva nuzuye ishimwe n'amarira y'ibyishimo
_Si uko hari icyo natanze_
_Si uko nkiranuka_ _bikwiriye_
_Ni umitima unyuzwe_
I come to you lord with past memories
Full of praise and tears of joy as I remember
Not because I sacrificed anything
Not because am worthy and righteous
But because of a grateful heart
Uwiteka nje imbere yawe ongera unyumve
sinabona icyo ngutura gihwanye n'ibyo unkorera
ng'uyu umutima uwakire
uwukoreshe icyo ushaka kuko
umutima uranyuzwe.
When I come before you oh lord listen to me again
I can't reward you equivalent to your deeds for me
Here it is take my heart
Use it as you wish
Because it's full of gratitude
*Chorus*
Ndanyuzwe mu mutima wanjye
mfite indirimbo ibihumbi,
ntarindi jambo nshaka kuvuga
usibye irigushima. X4
Am grateful in my heart
I have thousands of songs
I have nothing else to say
Other than praise you
