Cécile Kayirebwa is a soulful singer and composer and a founding member of the Rwanda Song and Dance Circle since 1961.Kayirebwa‘s early interests in traditional music were strengthened when she traveled, as a welfare officer, to all regions of Rwanda. Leaving her native country, after her mother went to live with a Frenchman in the remote Belgian village of Lozere,Kayirebwa quickly adapted to her new home. Learning to speak French, she began performing French versions of tunes byStevie Wonder andJimmy Cliff in local discotheques. In 1983, she studied traditional music at the Royal Museum of Central Africa in Terveuren, Belgium. The following year, she joined Bula Sangoma.
