  "textContent": "In August 2024, we wrote that few rising artists blend the new and the old with ease. Boukuru was already doing so, carrying her voice across intimate gatherings and national stages alike. This month, she releases the video for _Umwali_ , a track from her 2024 eleven-track album \"Gikundiro\", in honour of Women’s Month — and it lands with quiet force.\n\nThe song is tender, but the video adds weight. Careful and deliberate, it is hard not to see effort in the framing and restraint in the storytelling of this new release.\n\nThis week, we invite you to watch her video music.\n\nFind Boukuru's album \"Gikundiro\" on Spotify or Apple Music.\n\n_Have something to say about this story?__Message the editor_ _or write in the comments section below._",
