After two weeks of criss-crossing the country and listening to countless artists, they met the Good Ones.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eFor the new album, \u003cem\u003eYou Should Be Loved\u003c\/em\u003e, bandleader Adrien Kazigira composed over forty songs. The recording was done live without overdubs on Adrien’s farm in Rwanda.

Third member, Javan Mahoro, lends additional background vocals and percussion on select songs.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Epitaph","offers":[{"title":"CD","offer_id":50464134431051,"sku":"1080850","price":14.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"LP","offer_id":50464134824267,"sku":"1080851","price":24.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0867\/1120\/6219\/files\/e574bff3-7a0c-41c9-a085-3ad1946f2b26_thumbnail_4096.jpg?v=1727270933","url":"https:\/\/shop.roughtrade.com\/products\/rwanda-you-should-be-loved","provider":"Rough Trade","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
