Rwandan gospel singer and worship leader Aline Gahongayire has announced that she will be holding her first-ever concert in Belgium on October 5, 2024. The show is part of her music tour aimed at reaching out to her fan base in the European country.
This concert is an outcome of Gahongayire's recent visit to Belgium, where she supported fellow artist Israel Mbonyi during his own show on June 8, 2024. Mbonyi's concert was one of the highly anticipated events, especially as it coincided with the release of his latest album titled 'Nk'umusirikare' (Like A Soldier).
In an interview with Inya Rwanda, Gahongayire, known for hit songs like 'Ndanyuzwe', explained that her Belgium trip was meant to support Mbonyi's event while also laying the groundwork for her own debut show in the country.
The concert, organized by Team Production who also worked on Mbonyi's recent weekend show, will take place at the Thon Hotel Bristol Stephanie venue on October 5, 2024. Gahongayire revealed she will be joined by other guest artists, though details are still under wraps.
"So far, my featured guests haven't been announced yet as Team Production is handling those logistics. But this is about reaching my fans and expanding my music's footprint," she stated. The venue is different from where Mbonyi held his concert.
