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

After the genocide my love for playing went away. But little-by-little I started playing again and I still am now.

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.

When I was about eight, my father started to compose new music for me, which I memorised and played until I was 15, when I started to compose music by myself.
