This weekend, Kigali is set to explode with music, remembrance, and purpose as Twaje Fest takes center stage at the BK Arena on October 26th, 2024. More than just another festival, Twaje Fest will be a celebration of Yvan Buravan’s legacy—a rising star whose life was tragically cut short by pancreatic cancer in 2022. The festival not only pays tribute to his incredible music career but also rallies around a crucial cause: cancer awareness and early detection.
Organized by the YB Foundation, Twaje Fest draws its inspiration from Buravan’s iconic Twaje album, a project that earned him Best Album of the Year in 2022. While fans will be treated to his greatest hits, the festival also promises a moving release of Twaje Deluxe, a collection of unreleased tracks that reflect Buravan’s unfulfilled dreams and enduring artistry.
The festivities will feature Rwanda’s top musical talents, including Jules Sentore, Alyn Sano, Ibihame by’Imana, Ariel Wayz, and many others, ensuring an unforgettable night for the over 7,500 fans expected to attend. But more than just a celebration of music, Twaje Fest will highlight the importance of health advocacy, particularly in the fight against cancer. Through the Turikumwe Campaign, the festival will raise awareness about cancer prevention and early detection, encouraging Rwandans to take control of their health.
Tickets range from Rwf 5,000 for regular entry to Rwf 35,000 for VVIP access, offering everyone a chance to be part of this meaningful event. As one of Buravan’s longtime collaborators eloquently put it: “This is not just about remembering Yvan—it’s about carrying his message forward and making a real difference in people’s lives.”
With the support of the YB Foundation and partners, Twaje Fest is more than just a night of entertainment; it’s a movement for change. Proceeds will go towards supporting cancer awareness initiatives, ensuring that Buravan’s legacy continues to inspire and uplift.
So, grab your tickets via ticqet.rw, and join us this weekend as we come together to celebrate the life, music, and enduring impact of Yvan Buravan at Twaje Fest. Let’s unite for a night of song, solidarity, and hope for a healthier future.
