(Rwanda)
Mani Martin was born in Rwanda in 1988 and started to sing when he was still at school. He recorded his first tracks in Kigali at the tender age of 11. His songs, inspired by the difficult history of his country, along with his afro-soul music coloured with traditional sounds, have earned him a reputation in his country in the space of four albums and a string of live performances in East Africa.
