about

The live recording of my resilience album was done in Ottawa in 2010 but was released in 2016. Agahinda was recorded in Kigali Rwanda by Aron Niyitunga in 2004. Due to technical glitches, some songs like Mama, Wanalia were re-recorded and released in 2019.

Music collaborators:

-Mighty Popo: electric guitar
--Kofi Ackah: percussions (drum)
-Elage Mbaye: congas and shakers
-Owen: bass guitar
-Artistic & Technical Producer: Tito Medina
-Aron: acoustic guitar
-Empress Nyiringango: Lead singer-songwriter

Special thanks to my music director and producer Aron Niyitunga for re-producing Wanalia and mama in 2019 at bullhorn studio in Ottawa.

I acknowledge the financial support of the Ontario Council For The Arts (2009)
