A reunion between Rwanda’s iconic musicians, The Ben and Meddy, is scheduled to headline an upcoming event organized by Rwanda Convention USA. Set to occur in Dallas, Texas, from July 4th to June 6th, this gathering marks their first performance since the event went into a six-year hiatus following its previous edition in 2019.
This much-awaited festival aims to unite Rwandans and supporters worldwide across several days of festivities. This particular convening carries added significance because it aligns with both Rwanda’s Liberation Day (“Kwibohora 31”) and America’s Independence Day, promising an extraordinary blend of cultures during what should prove to be a remarkable weekend right in downtown Dallas.
The organizers have emphasized that the core themes include fostering young talent, promoting entrepreneurial ventures, facilitating professional connections, and highlighting various aspects of Rwandan culture. Participants can look forward to engaging in a variety of stimulating events tailored to spark inspiration, forge bonds, and honor Rwandan traditions.
Activities commence on Friday, July 4th with late registration options available along with badge collection services. Early bird sport engagements follow suit later in the afternoon. A gala reception dubbed “Hobe Night” gets underway at 7 PM under the management of Afrohub Entertainment—a local Arizona firm specializing in Rwandan arts and entertainment.
On Saturday, July 5th, key areas such as commerce exhibits, collaborative workshops, speeches delivered by influential figures, thematic panels, plus artistic displays will dominate the agenda before winding down with musical performances led once again by Meddy and The Ben alongside prominent fellow Rwandan performers like Masamba Intore. Further details about additional acts slated for the concert portion remain forthcoming according to officials involved.
Ernesto Ugeziwe—an ex-media correspondent turned current executive head honcho at Afrohub—has spearheaded efforts ensuring robust engagement throughout the proceedings. He highlighted how crucial these reunions serve not only celebratory purposes but equally vital roles connecting diaspora communities back home via shared experiences rooted deeply within national pride narratives.
