Kwivuga: Rwanda's ancient rap, echoing tales through time.
Extracts from a conversation with the super-prolific music producer Dr. Nganji, founder of Kinyatrap and head honcho of Green Ferry Music, alongside Eric Soul, a seasoned DJ with a global presence.
Together, they delve into the deep connections between Hip Hop's origins and Rwanda's Kwivuga storytelling art, revealing cultural threads through rhythmic tales.
Hip Hop, born in New York's inner city in the mid-70s, became a global force, built on pillars like DJing, MCing, BBoying, Graffiti, and Knowledge.
Kwivuga, an ancient lyrical art form of Rwandan culture, resonates through spoken word, echoing the roots of today's rap-a timeless journey of rhythm, storytelling, warrior sagas, and heroic narratives.
Parallels exist between Kwivuga and contemporary rap, both showcasing expressive spoken word performances, eloquence, analogies, and wordplay.Both Kwivuga and rap are potent mediums for cultural expression, enabling artists to convey thoughts and share narratives.
Despite differing contexts, the essence of using spoken words to connect with an audience remains a common thread between Kwivuga and modern rap.

nice babe love the show wahala wahala
wahala BAAABBBY
most people appearing in the WAHALA show go back home regularly to do exactely that....most Africans I know and work with are spreading the word globally and bringing attention back to Africa...am not Nigerian by the way, but that is the genearal pan-african attitude of the 21st century...52 other Africans countries need to act as one for one Continent!!
Nice jam. Thanks!
