The East African Gospel Festival with its kick off event : 'Integrity Gospel event' is the year's most anticipated men's event. It is an international festival organized by the artist Alexis Dusabe, who invites renowned worship and praise artists from the region.

On May 21, 2023, Camp Kigali will host the "Integrity Gospel Concert." Alex Dusabe, who organized it, will perform alongside other well-known musicians such as Apotre Appolinaire of Burundi, Nduwimana David, who resides in Australia, Aime Uwimana, and Prosper Nkomezi.

Alex Dusabe told media that he added Aime Uwimana and Prosper Nkomezi to his performance lineup. "Prosper has songs that are very sweet, that really touch the heart, and that bring a lot of joy," he said.

When discussing Aime Uwimana, he stated that he has the experience and that working with him is "a great blessing." "He has a lot of God's grace," he continued. He has God's Spirit and is extremely gifted."

"I believe that joining forces will result in something great in the form of a Heavenly blessing in the hearts of people." All of those people, I believe, will come to all of the performances we are planning because we will leave a 'positive effect' [good influence] in the shape of the Spirit in everyone's hearts."

Alex Dusabe is renowned for popular songs such as 'Umuyoboro, Kuki Turira, Ngwino' and many others that are about worshiping and praising God. The East Africa Gospel Festival's founding business intends to hold annual concerts to spread the Gospel of Jesus Christ and offer hope to the hopeless.

Dusabe recently informed Rwandans that the name "Integrity Gospel Concert" was chosen because God deserves to be praised. "Deserves honor and exaltation, it is Faithful," he said. God is 'Integre,' and He invites us to be faithful to Jesus Christ. He is deserving of all glory, acclaim, and exaltation, and he is deserving of praise."

The goal of his shows, he says, is to "give people the good news, but also to put God's Name on top because it is to be respected and spoken in all languages, as his word says, 'Every knee shall bow, every tongue shall confess that Christ Jesus is Lord.'"

Apostle Appolinaire was asked to be a great person in this work of preaching the Gospel through songs of worship and praise to God by the "Integrity Gospel Concert." He also invited David, a close friend of Apollinaire's who now resides in Australia.

He adds that in the East African Gospel Festival, they will collaborate with gospel singers from the region; currently, they are from Burundi, but "we also want to find others to collaborate with in these countries that are part of our region (East Africa)."

"These are people we've known for a long time, Apollinaire and David; we've learned a lot from them; they've worked with a lot of people; we'll join together to praise God, and I'd like to thank them for agreeing to join us in a good show," he added.

According to Alex Dusabe, the show's intended result is to spread the gospel. "If we see those who turn to the Lord Jesus, it will be a great benefit for all future generations," he said. These concerts will be performed on an annual basis and will take place in two locations: Camp Kigali and an open space to which everyone will have access."

The artist who rose to prominence through the song "UMUYOBORO" and others spoke about the significance of donors and partners, stating that they are people to be respected. "I will give you a plan to preach the Gospel throughout the District, and if they like us, they will join us in this work," he said.

Aline Gahongayire, a multi-awarded worship and praise songs singer and recording gospel artist, has announced that she will appear in Tanzania at a concert hosted by Christina Shusho and Rose Muhando, two of the best female gospel singers in the East African region.

This performance, dubbed "Mtako wa Pasika," will take place on April 9, 2023, in Mlimani. "I am happy that I am going to meet at the same stage with my sister Shusho, a powerful woman, a worshipper," Gahongayire told the media, adding, "there is God in her."

This performance will be part of the Easter Day celebrations, hence the name 'Mtoko wa Pasaka'. Christina Shusho, the show's organizer, grew up in a Christian household. She also began serving God when he was 15 years old, and since then he has gotten salvation and built his musical journey to the present day.

Christina Shusho has a unique charm, according to different Tanzanian newspapers, due to her beautiful voice and soulful performances. She married a missionary, and the couple has three children, two sons, and one girl.

Her songs have competed and won awards at different events such as the East Africa Gospel Awards, Groove Awards, Gospel Music Awards, and others.

Gahongayire will perform in Tanzania after releasing a song named 'Ubu Ndashima' from his seventh album. She recently told the media that her current album includes songs that praise God while also discussing today's and tomorrow's hopes.

"There are songs that praise God and speak about God's greatness," She explained. They also discuss the optimism of today and the future. God is the source of future optimism. "I would describe it as an album that contains praise while also capturing the atmosphere of the future."

Even though we won't be prepared for tomorrow, we are thankful nonetheless. It is a praise Album.

Bosco Nshuti stated in an interview with media that this song was inspired by God's love as seen in the holy scriptures in 1 John 4:10 and 1 John 4:19. Its special message is to demonstrate that God "loved us, not that we loved him." Christ affirmed that love by saying, "He who abides in love abides in God, and God abides in him!!

This song joins other hits by this artist that are still popular today, such as "Yanyujeho," Ni muri Yesu", "Alleluiah" and "Nzazamura."

This concert took place on Friday, March 24, starting at 6:15 p.m. It was characterized by many innovations, as usual in concerts organized by this artist.
After the concert, Dominic Ashimwe told the press that the concert is the beginning of a new musical career as he said he has many songs he is preparing to release.

He went on to announce that he plans to do more concerts including his new album release later this year. This is another show that we are preparing to do, which we compared to the closed basket that will be opened this year.
