This pancocojams post showcases a YouTube video of the Rwandan Gospel song "Nivo" by Ezra Joas featuring Aline Gahongayire.
A few comments from this video's discussion thread are included in this post. I added a comment in this video's discussion thread asking for someone to share the Kinyarwandan lyrics for this song and their English translations. If those lyrics are added to that discussion thread, I will include them in this post.

"These singers are wonderful and this video is first class! I wish I knew what they were singing. A commenter in this video's discussion thread below noted that the language is Kinyarwanda.
I'm an African American who unfortunately only knows English. Please add the lyrics to this song in Kinyarwanda and an English translation or at least the meaning of "Niyo" and a summary of this song in English. That would increase the access to this song for a lot of people throughout the world .
One love!"

Thanks for visiting pancocojams.
Visitor comments are welcome.
I know this is a religious song, but I'm wondering if the outfits that the woman and man are wearing (which can be clearly seen among other times at .038 to around .041, and 1:24-1:27) are traditional to Rwanda. These clothes remind me of Yoruba Nigerian styles.
