Some of the highlights of Israel Mbonyi’s show ‘Icyambu season 3.’. Singer Israel Mbonyi, on the night of December 25, 2024, during the celebration of Christmas, once again performed to a crowd of attendees at his concert titled “Icyambu season 3,” which was held at the BK Arena. 

The concert began at 7:00 p.m. and was opened by veteran singer Ivan Ngezi, who helped the audience sing some of the songs from the book. Israel Mbonyi began singing at 7:00 p.m., singing about 25 songs. 

The event was also attended by celebrities and dignitaries, including the Minister of Foreign Affairs, Olivier Nduhungirehe; Apotre Mignonne; journalists, including Mutesi Scovia; singer The Ben and his mother, Aline Gahongayire, the senior pastor of ADEPR in Rwanda; and others.

 It was a concert that was attended by many people from neighboring countries like Rwanda, Kenya, Tanzania, and elsewhere. The BK Arena was packed. 

Through his X account, before the concert began, Israel Mbonyi informed people that tickets had been sold out, indicating the size of the audience for the concert.

 Israel Mbonyi Kandi, in this show, shared a lot about his ten-year journey in music, saying that he himself is truly a walking testimony. He explained to Rwandans that when he started music in 2011, he had no hope of reaching where he is now. He said that when he was making music in India, it was very difficult, given that some of the halls where he performed had idols hanging in them, but that did not stop him from praising the gods. 

Here, Kandi thanked one of the producers he worked with on his first songs, including “Number One,” which he also sang, and said that he was the one who bought him the first guitar he used. During the show, the artist also praised his family, saying that he is happy that they support him even though they don’t like to be on camera, but he appreciates their role in his music. 

He continued by thanking some of the partners who supported him in making his show a success, including Airtel, World Vision, and others. Mbonyi’s concert was marked by great joy, as he also attempted to sing some of his most popular songs. He sang songs including Nina Siri, Number One, Like a Soldier, Hari Ibira, Icyamba, Umukunzi, Nitaaamini, Ndakubabariye, and various others. 

This artist once again showed Rwandans that he is capable, and he also thanked them for supporting him, taking the opportunity to thank the large team of singers and musicians who have worked together peacefully for ten years and are still together. 

The show ended at midnight, with reports saying it grossed around 73 million Rwandan francs. Singer The Ben and Aline Gahongayire attended Mbonyi’s concert.
