class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Rwandan singer King James has taken his 20th anniversary celebrations to Europe, performing in Bremen, Germany, as he continues a year-long run of concerts marking two decades in music.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Bremen show over the weekend brought together Rwandans and other fans from different cities across Germany, with the singer performing songs spanning his career.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">King James opened his set to strong applause before moving through some of his best-known songs, from music released during his early years to more recent work.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Fans sang along to the songs and danced during the performance, joining the singer through much of the show.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"916\" height=\"559\"

class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The concert came after his Aug. 22 performance in Belgium, following two anniversary shows he held in Rwanda on Aug. 1 and 2.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">King James is now expected to turn his attention to North America, with concerts planned in the United States and Canada in November and December.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The international performances form part of celebrations of the singer\u2019s 20 years in Rwanda\u2019s music industry.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">His career has included music from different periods, and the anniversary concerts are giving fans in Rwanda and abroad an opportunity to celebrate the milestone with him.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The North American dates will bring the latest phase of the anniversary programme to audiences outside Europe later this year.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Rwandan singer King James has taken his 20th anniversary celebrations to Europe, performing in Bremen, Germany, as he continues a year-long
