Nigerian Afrobeats superstar Rema turned BK Arena into a movie-like experience as he delivered a powerful performance at the Kwita Izina Concert in Kigali.
On Saturday, September 5, 2026, Rema took over BK Arena as the headline artist for the Kwita Izina Concert, bringing thousands of music fans together for a night filled with music, lights and energy.
From the moment he stepped onto the stage, the show felt bigger than a normal concert. The stage design, bright lights, giant screens and sound came together to create a performance that looked and felt like a movie.
Rema performed some of his biggest songs, including “Calm Down” and “Soundgasm,” while giving fans the energy they came to see. His performance, movement and connection with the crowd kept BK Arena alive throughout the night.
A lot of credit also goes to Rema’s team. The production, timing, stage setup and attention to detail showed the amount of work that happens behind a major international performance. They helped turn the concert into a full experience, not just a music show.
For Rwandan artists, the performance also showed what is possible on a bigger stage. Local stars such as Kenny Sol and Kivumbi King were part of the lineup, but Rema’s show made it clear that there is still room for local artists to grow in stage production, live performance and creating unforgettable fan experiences.
But the biggest part of the night was the love from the Rwandan crowd. Fans sang along, danced and gave Rema huge energy from the beginning to the end.
Rema came to Kigali, gave Rwanda a show to remember and left his mark. He calls himself the Prince of Afrobeats—and on this night, Kigali saw why. 👑
