KigaliUp brings a unique, authentic entertainment and educational experience to Rwanda that gives its artists a new, central platform and exposure to international artists, new sounds and performance approaches. The festival also creates collaboration opportunities between Rwandan, African and international artists and technicians, including workshops in the wider community.
