My father was an intelligent and famous musician and he composed a lot of good music. - Sophia Nzayisenga

Many Rwandan women like music but they don’t take the initiative to play it - maybe they think they won’t be able to do it and only men can play inanga. I think they underestimate themselves.

I lost my joy because some of my brothers and sisters passed away during the genocide, I think about how we used sing together at home and my heart hurts and I loose the will to play.

My family was full of inanga players - my grandfather too was a player.
