What Music and Singing Mean to Me feat. Keke

Soon after getting to know Keke a little better, we realized how her life revolved around her great love for music and singing. Often, we talk about her performances and the songs she is practicing. For us at Bean United, Keke telling us about her work and her passion for music gives us a better insight into her day-to-day life in Bujumbura. Also, it is so beautiful talking to people and hearing them share what they are most passionate about.

Keke, in a previous article, you already told us more about how you began singing at church and with your family. Can you tell us a little more about what music and singing mean to you?
