The objective of this roundup is to support the development of Rwandan music and offer listeners relaxation through the very best releases as the month closes. August 2025 has seen exceptional contributions from various artists.
One of the standout performances came from Kevin Kade, who premiered the dazzling visuals for his latest hit “Nyanja” on Wednesday, August 27, 2025.
“Nyanja” was masterfully composed and produced in Muyumbu, USA. Speaking about the experience, Kevin Kade shared, “I was collaborating with Element. Jimmy welcomed us warmly, treated us as family, blessed us, and supported us. He does this not as a profession but because of his passion for music.”
The captivating music video was shot in the scenic landscapes of Arizona. Kevin disclosed that the female model starring in the video, Afrellie, resides in Maine and was instrumental in bringing the visuals to life.
He narrated, “We first met during performances at the Rwanda Convention USA. I proposed the idea of collaborating on this project, and she couldn’t be more thrilled. She traveled to Arizona specifically for the shoot.”
The song boasts lyrics written by Junior Rumaga, Bill Ruzima, Element, and Innox—the visionary behind Innox Entertainment. Esteemed contributors such as media icon Ally Soudy and Shema Manzi ensured the project's success, especially in arranging shoot locations.
