Rwandan stars step into pop music scene Friday July 23 2021 By BILL ODIDI Summary Kriss Espoir's “Gemini” comes highly recommended for music fans seeking to explore a very interesting, but largely low-key scene in neighboring Rwanda. To the ear listening to the new Rwandan pop music for the first time, the collaborations serve as an introduction to the new generation of musicians. Those fans who have gotten used to his rough edge, street-wise style may be surprised at the evolution of Olamide into a smooth rhyming, pop artist on his new album “UY Scuti”. Something exciting is happening on the African pop music scene with new offerings from Rwanda and Nigeria being this month’s stand-outs. It’s no surprise that something fresh is coming from Nigeria, arguably Africa’s biggest music production studio.
