  "textContent": "An emerging wave of artists are blending modern genres with traditional Rwandan sounds. The production is sharper, parts of the references are older. And the vocals follow the same path: contemporary in form, rooted in memory.\n\nIt is no secret that my colleagues and I have been paying attention to this shift for some time now.\n\nThis week, we invite you to listen to _Nyirandugu_ by Vinxi and The Illusionist, with T-Rex Jr.\n\nYou can also play the song on Apple Music.\n\n_Have something to say about this story?__Message the editor_ _or write in the comments section below._",
