To a regular lover of the Kigali Jazz Junction, or live performances, it is quite evident how the October edition by Zimbabwean musician Oliver Mtukudzi and Rwanda’s Bruce Melodie was a performance that raised the bar so high for its powerful delivery.

The event, which took place on October 26 at the Kigali Serena Hotel was by far not just a venue filler, but set a great record for performances held this year.

Leading the day’s sessions as one of the guest acts, Bruce Melodie proved to many how Rwandan live music is quite enjoyable and much alive.

Having mastered a craft in vocals, then live performances, Rwanda’s Bruce Melodie is undoubtedly a pro when it comes to stage. The humble musician, who also is Rwanda’s 2017 Coke Studio representative exercised great delivery through songs like Ntundize and Ndakwanga right from his initial hits, which audiences fell in love with to his latest like Urwo Ngukunda, Embeera Zo, Inchwi, and Ikinyarwanda.

Backed up by the Nyundo School of Music, a rising talented youthful band, the set never went wrong, but took the audience to close to two hours of sensational Afro R&B rhythms.

The musician who is also Rwanda’s 2017 Coke Studio representative as well as the 2018 Primus Guma Guma Super Star winner has indeed mastered the art of live performance, evidently adored by masses.
