Bikindi's music has been banned in Rwanda since the end of the 1994 genocide. Bikindi is charged with six counts of genocide, conspiracy to commit genocide, complicity in genocide, direct and public incitement to commit genocide andmurder and persecution as crimes against humanity. An estimated one million Tutsis and politically moderate Hutus were killed in the 1994 genocide in Rwanda according to an official survey by the government of Rwanda.
