Gospel artist Israel Mbonyi announced plans to perform in Kenya for a special end-of-year concert transitioning from 2024 to 2025. This will be his third performance in the country this year, following his August 10th appearance at the 'Africa Worship Experience' in Nairobi.

His hit song 'Nina Siri' has gained significant popularity, especially among Swahili speakers, unexpectedly becoming a major success despite Mbonyi's initial doubts. The song topped music charts, displacing previous hit songs and attracting widespread attention.

Mbonyi has been increasingly invited to perform in Kenya after the song's success. Notable Kenyan politicians and public figures have attended his performances. He plans to release his album 'Nk'umusirikare' and is scheduled to host his own concert on December 25, 2024, at BK Arena.

The artist reflects on the song's unexpected success and his growing popularity in the Swahili-speaking community, noting that only 2.97% of Rwandans speak Swahili, despite the language being one of the ten most spoken globally.
