SOUTH AFRICAN DIVA WANTS A COLLABO WITH ERICK

Eric Wainaina

South African singer Lira who was Kenya for Blankets and Wine spoke of her desire of on day recording a swahili song with Eric Wainaina. She said that one of the things she must do as an artiste is sing in Swahili and has been “engaging” Eric Wainaina for the project but “time wise it has been impossible”.

Lira said she has three of Eric albums and has her “heart set on Eric for so long and I love his writing and sensitivity. I love his writing and for him to assist in portraying the message (of my song) in Swahili, would be exciting.”
