Often music fans are so consumed with artists from Britain or the US that huge acts from elsewhere often go unnoticed. One such superstar entertainer is South Africa’s Lira. Already a platinum selling performer on the African continent, Lira is about to break out in America with a tour to support her first stateside album release. Rise Again is a 13-track, multi-language compilation of songs that made the Johannesburg native a star back home. With a list of accomplishments that include maintaining the largest Facebook following of any South African musician, a BET Award nomination for Best International Act in 2012, and performing for former South African president Nelson Mandela’s 92nd birthday celebration, Afro-soul songstress Lira’s chances of making a mark in the US seem like a sure bet. And where the US leads the UK usually follows.
