Congratulations to our dear friend Gentil Misigaro who was sworn in today for his Canadian Citizenship.

Canada is a better place with you as one of its citizens!

Growing up, Gentil Misigaro only knew the world as a place of loss, fear, and death. For fifteen years he and his family moved from country to country to escape the violence, but it followed them from their village in Congo to Rwanda and then Uganda.

Through it all Gentil found strength and hope in music. When his family got the news that they had finally found a new home in Canada, Gentil saw his music as a powerful force that could bring positive change to his new homeland.
