Rwandan gospel duo Ishimwe Vestine and Kamikazi Dorcas step into a new creative chapter with a heartfelt worship single titled “Itabaza.’
The significance of this release goes beyond the music itself.. So “Itabaza” is not just a worship song. It is a declaration of faith at a moment of real personal transition. That context gives the record an extra layer of meaning for fans who have followed their journey.
The title translates from Kinyarwanda as the lamp or the lantern – and the message running through the song draws directly from that image. God as light in a season of uncertainty. A guide through unfamiliar territory. A source of direction when the path ahead is not yet clear. For two artists navigating the beginning of an independent career, choosing this specific message for their first release says everything about where their trust is placed.
Vestine and Dorcas have been building their gospel catalogue since 2020 with records like “Nahawe Ijambo,” “Adonai,” “Ibuye,” and more recently “Kisima” and “Usisite.” Each release has shown a duo whose vocal harmony and genuine faith come through consistently without ever feeling performative. “Itabaza” continues in that same spirit while marking the beginning of something new.
