and Urban Music Lebel 2019.
It aims at
joining together east African musicians for a throw down to improve their music
spirit. It was given a name of Tanzanian
music promoter, Dr. Ongala Remmy, who is said to have contributed so much to
lay a foundation stone on African music development.
Speaking to
INYARWANDA Deo Munyakazi said it is high time east African artists took the
opportunity to showcase their talents and connect with among themselves so that
their songs transcend borders of their home countries.
'' We took off from

traditional music vibes. We are so proud that we are representing Rwanda and we
promise to do our best to outperform,'' he said.
