Hidden Musics
When it comes to the inanga (an oval-shaped, harp-like device that many have called Rwanda's most important musical instrument), few master it like Sophie Nzayisenga. The instrument has been in her life since an early age, as she started playing it at the tender age of six. Her practice, passed down by her family, has led her to be the face of ‘Queen of Inanga: Music from Rwanda’, a record put out by traditional music label Antonovka Records in 2021. As a global ambassador for the inanga, Nzayisenga provides audiences with the outstanding opportunity to become acquainted with the precious instrument and its sound.
