'Imararungu' album is a deliberate Gakondo movement--Victor Rukotana
Musician Victor Rukotana has, for the past two to three years, been regarded as a cowling baby in Gakondo music. He is now showing signs of taking over since releasing ‘Imararungu’ album, his first full-length project since launching his career in music in 2018. Rukotana’s 10-track album is not just a “regular release.” “It is a “deliberate movement to preserve and elevate the Gakondo genre,” he told The New Times.
