Renowned Rwandan poet and actor Malaika Uwamahoro is poised to make a significant impact with the release of her debut poetry album, “Rhymes of Remembrance”.
This 25-minute collection of five deeply evocative poems offers an immersive journey through Rwanda’s history, from its pre-colonial era to the present day.
“Rhymes of Remembrance” is more than just a collection of poems; it is a heartfelt tribute dedicated to the victims and survivors of the 1994 Genocide against the Tutsi.
Uwamahoro’s work serves as both a testimony of truth in the face of genocide denial and a preservation of Rwanda’s rich history.
In Uwamahoro’s words, “This album serves as a starting point of understanding for all generations yearning to learn through the means of creative arts. It is a testimony of truth in the face of genocide denial, a preservation of history, and a celebration of creativity and the transformable powers of art.”
The poet’s dedication to her homeland and its people is evident in a personal message included in the album:
“Dearest Rwandans,
I dedicate this collection of poems to you.
You have been my inspiration, my light, my love.” She wrote.
“Rhymes of Remembrance” promises to resonate deeply with listeners, offering a powerful artistic expression of Rwanda’s enduring spirit.
The album is now available on all major streaming platforms, inviting audiences worldwide to join Uwamahoro in this profound artistic journey.
