#FAVT: Future Africa Visions in Time is an exhibition that travelled for many years around the globe: for example Brasil, Kuba, South Africa, Namibia, Zimbabwe, Kenya, Burkina Faso and Uganda. Always supported by the Goethe Institut and local cultural centers. Kigali is the last stop: a reason to celebrate!



#componentsRW (by afrogroov) is a collaborative project initiated by Rwandese DJ & Music curator Kirenga Karengera also known as ERIC SOUL, it brings together a network of creative power-houses from Rwanda, Kenya, Uganda and the UK.

This DJ-led live music project explores & translates multi-disciplinary traditional African art forms in innovative ways, with a focus on the unique rhythm signatures and story-telling style of the region.

Rwandese sounds, culture and artistry are barely known outside the country borders. It is yet to be unearthed, discovered and shared with the world.

The creative collective #componentsRW aims to explore, experiment, educate and inspire. Rooted in both the UK club culture and Rwandan performing style, the presentation of the new work is a DJ-led multi media and multi disciplinary collaborative piece featuring a slew of progressive Rwandan artists from various disciplines.

#componentsRW brings these talents and performing styles together for a live musical journey fusing these elements in a seamless piece of East African traditional soulful vibes and futuristic Black music sonic tapestry.

For their FAVT's performance, Eric Soul is joined by the sensational singer/rapper/poetess Angel Mutoni, the multi talented traditional instrumentalist Deo Munyakazi, the soulful singer songwriter Mike Kayihura and the energetic contemporary/traditional dancer Yannick Kamanzi.


Feel warmly invited!
