Vestine and Dorcas are set to captivate the world with their first Canada gospel tour. Starting in Vancouver, this tour celebrates their growing international recognition.
The anticipated tour will launch in Vancouver on October 18, 2025, after being postponed from its initial schedule in 2024.
Murindahabi Irénée, the duo's manager, told InyaRwanda that they are prioritizing the Vancouver concert to ensure its success. Other cities are being considered as discussions continue.
Murindahabi stated: “Our main focus right now is Vancouver. We are in talks for additional shows, but we want to guarantee everything is properly arranged. The mission is about connecting Vestine and Dorcas with their global fanbase outside Rwanda, beginning here.”
The tour's title, “Yebo,” is inspired by their latest hit song, demonstrating their artistic evolution and commitment to incorporating Swahili into their music.
Murindahabi added: “This is about expanding beyond the Rwandan fanbase. We’re reaching out to Swahili-speaking communities to let them know we’re here to perform and praise together.”
Siblings Ishimwe Vestine and Kamikazi Dorcas are celebrated gospel artists whose journey began in 2018. From church choir singers to renowned performers, they’ve gained massive acclaim for songs like “Adonai,” “Nahawe Ijambo,” and “Ibuye.” Their music carries powerful messages about faith and emphasizes the transformative role of God in human lives.
In just a few years, Vestine and Dorcas have performed across Rwanda and abroad, including in Burundi for outreach events. Now, they take their gospel ministry global by incorporating Swahili into their songs—an effort to connect with international audiences.
The duo is widely regarded as powerful newcomers who inspire worship and highlight bright prospects for Rwandan gospel music on the global stage.
This milestone event will mark Vestine and Dorcas’ first performance in Canada.
Their debut concert will take place in Vancouver, while plans remain ongoing to expand the tour to other Canadian cities.
Manager Murindahabi further explained the name “Yebo” reflects their decision to sing in Swahili, demonstrating their desire to grow spiritually and artistically.
Since 2020, the duo has been dedicated to composing spiritually enriching music that spreads the message of God’s Kingdom and encourages faith in the cross
