Renowned gospel and traditional music artist Josh Ishimwe is gearing up for a major international performance as he joins Aline Gahongayire for the highly anticipated Ndashima Live Concert tour across Europe. The duo will first perform in Brussels, Belgium, marking a significant milestone in Josh Ishimwe’s music career.
On Tuesday, February
4, 2025, Josh Ishimwe signed an official contract with Team Production,
the company organizing the event. This deal ensures his participation in the
concert, where he will share the stage with Aline Gahongayire in Belgium. Team
Production, known for hosting top Rwandan artists like Bwiza and The Ben,
continues to expand its support for Rwandan talent abroad.
Aline Gahongayire, a
leading gospel artist in Rwanda, revealed that she personally chose Josh
Ishimwe for this concert because of his unique talent and deep connection to
traditional Rwandan music. "Josh is like a son to me," she
said. "I admire his dedication to gospel music and his ability to
represent our culture through traditional sounds. It’s important to keep our
musical identity alive."
She also emphasized that
while her style blends Blues and Jazz, she wanted someone who could bring
a strong Rwandan touch to the performances. "We, as Christians,
should uphold our culture. I’m not just going as Aline Gahongayire, but as an
artist showcasing Rwandan talent. That’s why I chose Josh—he embodies the
authenticity I wanted for this tour."
Josh Ishimwe, who rose to
fame with gospel hits like Reka Ndate Imana Data and Amasezerano,
started his musical journey in a church choir as a child. Over the past two
years, he has gained popularity for blending gospel with traditional Rwandan
rhythms. He credits artists like Yvan Ngenzi and René Patrick for
helping him refine his sound.
As he prepares for his
big international stage, Josh is excited about the doors this opportunity will
open for his music career. "At first, I was unsure about how
people would receive my music," he shared. "But this
chance to perform in Belgium proves that gospel and traditional music have a
place on the global stage."
