In 2003 I received a CD by a friend of mine. The content was a mixture of Kinyarwanda, Swahili, French and English in a combination of tunes and rhythms that may change one’s perception of Gospel Music. In my case it surely did, because saying that the CD blessed me would be an understatement. It was produced by the sowers Group. A few months later it started airing at ishimwe Online Radio that was in its infants steps. I am not intending to go in details about the Sowers group in this post, but it’s very important to mention it is one of the best well established and liked group in Central Africa and Eastern Africa due to their multilingual style!
For much of the March and April 2009, Australia is on list of those countries to be blessed by the Central African Group. As Published by Translator Records, The sowers are to perform in Australi and New Zealand between March 5th 2009 and April 18th at more than 36 appearances!!! Wow… If I am not mistaken, it is the first Rwandese Gospel Group to ever do such a thing ever!!
