Jean-François Uwimana, 34, priest, bring the sound of the street to the church. The clergyman, who is currently celebrating mass in Arnstadt and Weimar, has become known as a rapping priest in his home country Rwanda. “When I came out of church on Sundays, the young people would sit there, listen to music and dance,” he told the German Press Agency. But the priest did not like the music. “The songs were about drugs, about sex. About violence. I asked the children: How can you hear songs like that after the service?” Uwimana understood the problem that the usual hymns were too boring for the young people. His solution: He raps himself – to a thumping bass, but with Christian words. The obligatory sunglasses and the wide-legged posing should not be missing in his videos. Instead of a gold necklace and tattoos, Uwimana wears the stiff stand-up collar called Kollar.
