Rwandese star Isacco Features Kenyan Stars in his upcoming Album

Rwandese musician Murwanashyaka Nzabonimana, popularly known as Isacco, is gearing up to release his second studio album, featuring two exciting collaborations with Kenyan artists.

The album, which comprises 12 tracks, is a tribute to his upbringing in Kenya and his musical journey across Africa and Europe.

The Rwandese singer who recently became a France citizen is set to tour the county, “I’m coming to Kenya for the holidays,” he revealed.

“I want to visit all the places where I grew up and reconnect with my childhood friends. It’s going to be an unforgettable reunion.”

Beyond the sentimental journey, Isacco is also set to finalise collaborations with Kenyan artists and engage in live performances.

“I’m in discussions with event organisers to arrange shows during my stay,” he said.

“Fans should expect more updates soon.”

Isacco’s upcoming album draws inspiration from his time in Kenya. “Almost all the songs are inspired by my experiences in Kenya,” he shared. One track, in particular, is a special dedication to the people who supported him through his journey. “There’s a song where I thank everyone who stood by me during tough times—it’s because of them that I am the Isacco you know today.”

The album will feature two Kenyan artists, though their identities remain under wraps for now.

Isacco teased that singles from the project will start dropping soon, building anticipation for the full release.

Having performed on stages across Europe and Africa, Isacco has a unique perspective on both music industries. He has shared platforms with international stars such as Dadju, Sauti Sol, Nameless, and DJ Arafat, among others.

Reflecting on the differences between audiences, he noted, “In Europe, African concerts bring together diaspora communities in a nostalgic celebration of our culture.

The energy is incredible.”

He also emphasized the importance of cross- cultural exchange, urging Kenyan artists to expand their reach beyond their communities.

“While Kenyan musicians are now frequently performing in Europe, there’s still room to grow in terms of international promotion. We must open up to broader audiences.”

Beyond music, Isacco is eagerly anticipating indulging in Kenyan cuisine during his visit.

“I’m very nostalgic for Chapati and Sukuma,” he admitted with a laugh.

“I can’t wait to eat hundreds of chapatis when I’m back!”
