Kenya has a lot of gifted singers and Zeshari is one of them. Not yet widely known though, Zeshari is set to take over the airwaves in the remaining part of 2020 and most of 2021.
The Sauti Academy alumnus has a sweet voice, and when coupled with her groovy melodies she produces music you'll want to listen to all year long. She presents to us an ultimate party song HEWA.
Check out "HEWA" video here: https://youtu.be/
"Hewa is a swahili word for air.
This song is a reminder for all of us to just take a minute, step back and just BREATHE. It's crazy how many times we take it for granted in our hustles and bustles of our day to day life. When was the last time you just stood outside and breathed in and out just because you can? Well, today Zeshari reminds you this, the next time life brings its twists and turns as you remember to..Punga Hewa" - Zeshari
The video was shot in Nairobi, Kenya by Zord Files. The audio producer is Ihaji.
About Zeshari:
Zeshari is an immensely gifted Afro pop/reggae artiste with a powerful voice, a knack for songwriting and a bold onstage charisma that makes all her performances both riveting and captivating. Furthermore, she plays the guitar, drum or whatever weird or broken instruments she finds in an attic or even a gutter!
Her first release ‘Mapenzi Ya Nusu’ is a taste of what to expect in her EP that is set to be released later in the year. As an alumnus of Sauti Academy, Zeshari enjoys singing to the top of the stratosphere. This has led her to a career as a backup singer for seasoned musicians such as Muthoni Drummer Queen and Simply Susan.
Zeshari draws her inspiration from African artistes such as Muthoni Drummer Queen, Valerie Kimani, and Sauti Sol as well as international artistes such as Etana, Shekhinah, Gregory Porter, Torri Kelly and mostly Danileigh and Lizzo which creates a beautiful blend of sound.
She has graced the stage at a number of events and festivals, from small intimate events such as Ink Overflow, Strings and Coffee and Percussion Discussion and Lovers and Friends to larger events such as Nairobi Fashion Market and The Fairmont Norfolk Hotel.
She is no stranger to the big stages with huge audiences such as Sondeka Festival and Kijiji Festival. She also organized her own successful valentine’s event The Red Black and Love Affair.
Her dream is to be the most successful solo female African pop reggae artiste in Kenya and the whole of Africa.
She is looking forward to the day that Zeshari will be a household name and that her music will be on the lips of everybody and be an inspiration to many more in Africa.
