Strictly Soul, Africa’s biggest R&B celebration, is heading to Kigali, Rwanda for the very first time on Friday, 23 May 2025 — bringing its signature blend of smooth vocals, rich soul, and electrifying energy to the heart of East Africa.
Known for curating elevated musical experiences, Strictly Soul Kigali will be an upscale night dedicated to R&B, Soul, Neo-Soul, Trap Soul, and Future Beats. The music will be expertly curated by internationally acclaimed DJ and music director Akio Kawahito, with the evening guided by the ever-charismatic host Anita Makgetla. Together, they’ll create a vibe that blends nostalgia with modern soul in an unforgettable night of singalongs and two-step grooves.
From timeless icons like Mary J. Blige, Brandy, D’Angelo, and Aaliyah, to new school favourites like SZA, Summer Walker, and Giveon, this event celebrates every era of R&B with depth and style.
Set against the backdrop of Kigali’s vibrant nightlife, this unique Strictly Soul edition is a rare chance for Rwandan fans to experience the brand’s authentic soul-filled atmosphere.
This one-night-only experience is expected to sell out fast, so Kigali R&B lovers are encouraged to grab their tickets early.
Don’t miss your chance to be part of the soul revolution.
