Jamaica's dancehall artist Demarco will treat Kigalians for yet another electric concert after the event management pioneers, Diamond League Entertainment (DLE) announced the music star's performance in Kigali ahead of the 2022 Dutty December mega show slated on December 20 at BK Arena.

The 'Love My Life' hit maker has dropped numerous reggae and dancehall hits over the years that music lovers will enjoy listening to live and dancing to during the holidays. This will be his first time performing in Rwanda.

"This is the festive season and people want to have a good time so this is a great opportunity having a Jamaican artiste perform in Kigali which is different to what we have been used to lately. More information regarding the concerts and tickets will be informed soon," Says Patrick Lipscombe Musoni.

The organisers revealed that they wanted to bring Nigeria's singer Arya Starr however she was not available in December and so decided to do something different by hosting a Jamaican artiste since Nigerians have been performing a lot lately in Kigali.

Some of his most hit songs include 'No Wahala' ft Akon and Runtown, 'Lazy Body' ft Hotta Maestro, 'Bad Gyal Anthem' and 'Backaz' among others.
