AFRICA BEATS - THE GOOD ONES 

The Good Ones are a four piece band from Rwanda. When lead singer and songwriter Adrien Kazigira decided to form a group, he went looking for “the good ones”, the best musicians he could find. The three others he now plays with are a subsistence farmer like him, a driver and a teacher. In Rwanda they mostly play at weekends at weddings and funerals.
With just a guitar, some unusual percussion and harmonizing voices, they create a compelling sound which is traditional and yet fresh. ‘Eudia’ which they perform for BBC Africa Beats, is a love song written by Adrien for his wife after her death.
