When the right time comes, we will give people a concert,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Her remarks come amid reports that she could stage a solo concert in 2027. However, neither the singer nor KINA Music, which manages her career, has announced a date or confirmed the reported plan.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">At Improper Access, Knowless performed several of her songs and introduced her latest release, <em>Ni Njyewe<\/em>, which she had recently promised to share with her fans.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The song was written and produced by Ishimwe Clement, while its music video was directed by Meddy Saleh.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Knowless has been active in Rwanda\u2019s music industry for more than a decade. She gained wider recognition in 2011 after releasing <em>Komeza<\/em>, followed by songs including <em>Uzagaruke<\/em>, <em>Baramushaka<\/em>, <em>Peke Yangu<\/em>, <em>Te Amo<\/em> and <em>Nzaba Mpari<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">She has performed at concerts in Rwanda and abroad, including shows organised to promote her albums. In 2015, she became the first woman to win the Primus Guma Guma Super Star competition.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Knowless married Clement in 2016. The two also work together through KINA Music, which is involved in her music career.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Rwandan singer Butera Knowless has not announced when she will hold her first solo concert, saying the event will depend on having enough time to [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":5045,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[43,28,34,40],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-5044","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-current_affairs","category-entertainment","category-national","category-top_stories"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/thedawnrwanda.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/5044","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/thedawnrwanda.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/thedawnrwanda.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/thedawnrwanda.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/thedawnrwanda.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=5044"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/thedawnrwanda.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/5044\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":5046,"href":"https:\/\/thedawnrwanda.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/5044\/revisions\/5046"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/thedawnrwanda.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/5045"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/thedawnrwanda.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=5044"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/thedawnrwanda.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=5044"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/thedawnrwanda.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=5044"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
