Moving from presence to participation

On the third day of the world’s largest music trade event, Alyn Sano shifted from symbolic representation to active participation in global music conversations.

She held discussions with several international artists, including members of The Renaissance Orchestra and musician J Black, sparking interest in potential cross-continental collaborations.

These early exchanges have helped position her not only as a performer, but also as a creative partner in global music projects.

Representing Rwanda on a global stage

While much of the early attention focused on her presence as a Rwandan female artist at NAMM, Sano has shown that her goal extends beyond visibility.

Throughout the day, she engaged with bands, producers and instrumentalists from different regions, exchanging ideas and exploring new musical directions.

“I am proudly representing Rwanda in spaces where global music conversations happen,” Sano said during a break between sessions.

“This journey is bigger than me. It is about learning, visibility and opening doors for the next generation of artists,” she added.

Potential international collaborations

One of the standout moments of her time in California has been a high-level meeting with The Renaissance Orchestra and J Black.

The discussions focused on a possible collaboration that would blend Sano’s Afro-pop and soul sound with orchestral arrangements.

Although details remain undisclosed, the talks signal growing international interest in Rwandan music and its creative potential on the global stage.

Looking ahead

As the NAMM Show approaches its conclusion, Alyn Sano continues to engage actively with industry professionals.

Her presence highlights a broader shift, where Rwandan artists are increasingly participating in global creative networks rather than observing from the sidelines.

Fans and supporters are encouraged to follow her journey and stream her music as she continues to expand her international footprint.
