Today Rwandan trio The Good Ones have shared the new song "Where Did You Go Wrong, My Love" featuring Wilco's Nels Cline. The song is about a father's attempt to rescue his daughter from going down a bad path in life.
The Good Ones also start their first-ever US tour tonight - the first time an original music band from Rwanda has ever toured the US - opening for Glen Hansard at Seattle's Moore Theatre. They will also perform in Portland, San Francisco, Los Angeles, New York City and more through the first part of October. All upcoming dates are listed below. For The Good Ones' new album, Rwanda, You Should Be Loved, bandleader Adrien Kazigira originally composed over forty songs. Most were meditations on his now thirteen-year-old daughter, Marie-Claire, and the life-threatening tumor that has afflicted her left eye. The recording was done live without overdubs on Adrien's farm and was imbued with the passing of producer Ian Brennan's mother during the days that they were there together as well as a former founding band member recently having succumbed to his own demons.1.
