Music Director for the annual Kampala City Festival, Christian stage Hum Kay has donated his peace anthem song to Kigali Genocide Memorial.
This happened during the second Ubumuntu Arts Festival that took place at the Kigali Genocide Memorial amphitheater, with artists from 18 different countries performing at the four-day event.
The festival was organised by Mashirika Performing Arts Company to promote the importance of compassion and the values of humanity.
The welcoming speech was delivered by Aegis Trust Regional Director Freddy Mutanguha.
As Ubumuntu Arts Festival reports, Freddy Mutanguha stated that the main reason why the festival took place at Kigali Genocide Memorial was because, this place is a symbol of lack of humanity, where more than 250,000 victims of the 1994 Genocide in Rwanda are buried.
“When we are here, we aren’t just remembering these innocent lost lives, but we are also here to receive a great lesson about what it means to be human, so that we don’t lose our humanity again, here, or anywhere else in the world” Freddy emphasized
Gifted in music, Hum Kay released the Peace Anthem song with the intention of teaching people to have humanity and compassion for one another. It was nominated for the VIGA music awards 2015, Exemplary theme category (commendable non-gospel positive message songs).
Hum is an iconic voice in Christian music, who has stretched his voice beyond the boundaries of the church, calling nations to look beyond color, tribe and political differences.
Hum also recently organised a Worship Ministers Summit that attracted worship leaders, worship team members, song writers, musicians and instrumentalists at Eden Revival Church Wandegeya, a neighborhood within the city of Kampala.
