Enter a radio soap opera in Kigali – a Shakespearean love story complete with murder, thievery, a Romeo, and his Juliet. The programs depict two neighbouring villages and try to avoid identifying one village as Hutu and the other as Tutsi. The programs' purpose is to show the effects of various psychological, social, economic, and historical factors in setting the stage for group violence. In addition, the programs are meant to convey information about trauma and recovery, and reconciliation between groups after hostility and violence. In addition, Musekeweya is a format that was produced, developed and financed (and not funded) by the organization la Benevolencija.
I went as part of the NL partner group activities back in January to visit them recording a session, but couldn't find the photos to upload...
The actors come in once a month or so and record a batch at a time which is then edited. They have an extensive database of sounds to add, glasses, birdsong (lots of different ones, as some are morning birds, others sing after the rain etc), cows
