The annual Fête de la musique festival rolled back in Gaborone on Saturday and it was nothing short of great ambience.

A sizeable crowd had braved the cold weather to attend the show hosted by the Alliance Francaise Gaborone at their Village residence. It was organised in collaboration with Orange Botswana. Despite the uncomfortable weather, the audience was captivated by the diverse musical offerings and performances by local and foreign acts.

Other artists who were in the line-up are Ubuntu Band, Nirere Shanel, Raptured Roots and FME DJs.

There were also incredible performances by students from Kingdom Arts Academy and Mogoditshane Senior Secondary School. Dato Seiko's unique voice captivated the audience making it a memorable experience for fun lovers who sang along to the artist's soothing tunes. Nirere Shanel's performance was engaging and it brought the international atmosphere. Being an inspiring artist from Kigali, her powerful voice was magical. Nirere Shanel’s poignant songs pay tribute to the victims of the 1994 Rwandan Genocide. She calls for unity and heartfelt celebration of Rwanda, showcasing her deep connection to her roots.
