Rwandan Afro‑beat and Afro‑pop artist Kivumbi King, hailing from Kigali, Rwanda, collaborates with fellow Rwandan Mike Kayihura on the emotional single “Maria.” Released in 2025 as part of their joint EP Installation, the song showcases both artists’ signature blend of soul‑driven melody with heartfelt introspection.
On “Maria,” Kivumbi King delivers vulnerable lyrics about longing and love—“If you go, I got nobody to call… show me how to be strong with nobody to lean on”—revealing a deep emotional core framed by steady Afro‑rhythms. Mike Kayihura complements the verses with his smooth vocals and subtle harmonies, making this duet feel intimate and sincere.

Together, they’ve crafted a sound that mixes vulnerable storytelling with polished production—bringing a fresh expression of Rwandan contemporary music to the forefront.
This is a standout on the project for anyone drawn to Afro‑beat with soul, introspection, and raw emotion—anchored by Kivumbi King’s lyrical depth and Mike Kayihura’s melodic presence.
