Igitaramo cya East African Party cyari kimaze imyaka icyenda gitumirwamo abahanzi bakomeye muri Afurika, u Burayi na Amerika, The Ben abaye umuhanzi wa mbere uvuka mu Rwanda uhinduye aya mateka. Mu myaka yashize hagiye hatumirwa abakomeye nka Fuse ODG, Mr Flavour, Diamond Platnumz n’abandi.

The Ben yashyigikiwe bikomeye, mu baje kumureba ntihasigaye n’iyonka ndetse bose bamufashaga kuririmba indirimbo ze mu buryo bwumvikanisha ko umuziki we wabacengeye mu mitsi n’imisokoro. Igitaramo cya The Ben cyitabiriwe n’isinzi ry’abafana babarirwaga mu bihumbi birenga icumi.

Yabanjirijwe n’abandi bahanzi basanzwe baharawe muri iki gihe mu Rwanda barimo Buravan, Charly&Nina ndetse na Bruce Melody. Aba bahanzi bishimiwe buri wese ku rwego rwe gusa The Ben yahageze abibagiza abamubanjirije bose.

Tom Close ni we wakiriye The Ben, yabanje kumuvuga ibigwi ko ‘ari umuhanzi w’umuhanga u Rwanda rufite’. Yongeyeho ati “Natangiye kumenyekana mbere ya The Ben ariko yagize uruhare rukomeye ngo mbere uyu muzi.”

Ahagana saa tatu z’ijoro ni bwo The Ben yaje ku rubyiniro, yakirwa n’urusaku rwinshi rw’abantu bamwerekaga ko bamwishimiye.

Yageze ku rubyiniro, n’ibyishimo byinshi, abafana ibihumbi n’ibihumbi bari baje kumureba bamwakirije amashyi y’urufaya, abari bazanye ibyapa bishushanyijeho isura ye babishyira hejuru bamwereka ko bamufite ku mutima.

Uyu muhanzi wagaragarijwe ko yishimiwe cyane yahise yanzika n’umuziki ahereye ku ndirimbo ze zikunzwe muri iki gihe ageze hagati avangamo izakunzwe mu myaka yo hambere. Abafana baririmbanaga na we, ubona bishimye ku maso. Abenshi bari bafite icyo kunywa mu ntoki buri wese yegeranye n’inshuti ze bazanye mu matsinda.

Mu gitaramo kidasanzwe, The Ben yataramiye i Kigali aho abakunzi b’umuziki mu ngeri zinyuranye by’umwihariko abakuze n’abakibyiruka bari baje kumureba bacinya akadiho. Buri mufana yatashye yirahira ubuhanga bwa The Ben, buri wese kandi yatashye ubona ku maso afite isura yishimye ndetse ukabona ko umubiri we wizihiwe n’uburyohe bw’umuziki The Ben yagaburiye amatwi ye.

Mu ruhuri rw’umuziki w’imbonekarimwe wacurangiwe mu gitaramo cy’amateka adasanzwe The Ben yakoreye mu Rwanda nyuma y’imyaka itandatu atahakandagiza ikirenge yaririmbye mu gihe kigera ku masaha abiri.

Muri iki gitaramo harimo ingeri zinyuranye z’abantu, wumvaga mu biganiro hagati yabo harimo abakoresha Icyongereza, Lingala, Igiswahili, Ikinyarwanda n’izindi ndimi. Mu byo The Ben yavugaga na we yakoreshaga cyane Ikinyarwanda ariko akavangamo Icyongereza kugira ngo n’abanyamahanga bumve.

Mu bwiganze bw’amagambo ashimira, The Ben yibutsaga abaje kumureba ko ari ‘Umunyarwanda’, akongeraho ko ‘yagiye muri Amerika azi neza ko agomba kuzagaruka’.

Nyuma yo kuririmba ‘Ntacyadutanya’ yagize ati “Ibi biratangaje cyane, ndumva ari inzozi, ndumva ndi kurota.” Uko ibyishimo byasaga The Ben niko yiyamburaga imikufi ihenze yari yambaye mu ijosi akayijugunya mu bafana akababwira ati “Ibi byose ni mwe mbikesha.”
