Alyn Sano, Ruti Joel join line-up for Kigali Valentine's gala

Rwandan vocalist and songstress Alyn Sano and culture artiste Ruti Joel have been confirmed as part of the lineup for the forthcoming "Amore Valentine's Gala," scheduled for February 14 at the Kigali Conference and Exhibition Village (KCEV). “Meet me at Camp Kigali this Valentine’s! I will be performing live for you,” Alyn Sano announced on her social media platforms. The duo joins Burundian zouk and pop sensation Kidumu Kibido who will be the main act of the concert. Kidumu returns to Kigali just five months after his performance at the 'Soirée Dansante' event, part of his 100 Stages in 1000 Hills series—a celebrated run of shows in the Rwandan capital over the years—also held at KCEV on August 23, 2024. "We invite everyone to an exquisite evening full of love and good music, celebrating romance with loved ones," one of the event organizers told The New Times.
