Lira

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.
