Five Singers Take the Stage at BridgeFest Canada 2026

Saturday belongs to a night of worship and inspiration. Alpha Rwirangira headlines November 7 at the Old Strathcona Performing Arts Centre. Doors open at 5 PM and the show starts at 6.

The Rwandan singer won Tusker Project Fame, then its All Stars edition. He sings in English, Swahili and Kinyarwanda, in songs written to be sung back by the room. Church singing in Kigali led to stages across East Africa, including Songa Mbele with A.Y. and the album One Africa. Gospel songs such as Yamungu, Merci and Wow lead to this Saturday, when Edmonton gets the chance to sing them back.

Bob Muyoboke sings all three nights. His flyer puts him live in Edmonton from November 6 through November 8, in the same room and on the same clock as the rest of the weekend: doors open at 5 PM, show at 6.

He is one of the voices that holds the festival together. Come Friday and he is there. Come back Saturday or Sunday and he is still there, beside Gentil Misigaro and Amani Kayumba.

Someje opens the festival. Friday, November 6 is billed as opening night, and the flyer names her singer and vocalist. She is the first voice of the weekend.

Doors open at 5 PM and the show starts at 6. Entrance is free. Come for the opening, then stay for the singers who carry Saturday and Sunday.
