Rwanda: Sgt Robert Launches Kama Jeshi Album

5 July 2010


July 4, is when the Rwanda Patriotic Army liberated the country from the Habyarimana regime.

The Habyarimana regime survived on hate campaign against Tutsi. The propaganda sparked off a genocide which reportedly left over million Rwandans killed and others maimed.

Sgt Robert Kabera, who joined Paul Kagame's Rwanda Patriotic Front (RPF) as a young fighter (Kadogo) and was part of the liberators choose to celebrate the day in style by launching his first album.

The lead singer in the Rwanda Army Jazz Band, has launched his 12 song album he has preferred to call Kama Jeshi, at Amahoro Stadium.

Kama Jeshi, laterally translated means like a soldier. Sgt Robert loves soldiering. "Soldiering is good. A soldier is disciplined," he said when asked to explain why he has called his album Kama Jeshi. Launching at Amahoro and on a liberation day is symbolic.

Amahoro means peace. Rwandans are now leaving together at the back of bad history.

To celebrate his break through in the music industry Sgt Robert performed along with the Army Jazz Band where he nurtured his music talent.

The Brothers, The Ben, Kitoko, Meddy, Rafiki and Tom Close also performed at the show.

Knowing regional fans could boost his career, he chose to perform with some stars from outside Rwanda who included Cindy, formally of Blue 3 and the Bwekiri singer, Rabadaba.
