It's another sad day for the family of former Changamwe Mp , the late Ramadhan Kajembe as the grim reaper robs the family of another member, Asha Langoni.

Asha Langoni is Kajembe's eldest daughter.

According to reports, Langoni died at the Pandya Hospital where she had been admitted at the Intensive care unit (ICU).

Her death comes just two weeks after the death of her father Kajembe and few weeks after the death of first and second wife.

Langoni was not able to attend to her father's burial due to her admission in hospital where she was on oxygen support.

She will be laid to rest on Thursday morning next to her parents graves in Kwa Shee Mikindani.

Last week, the Kajembe family led by Soud Kajembe, the remaining eldest son held a press conference protested against Health CS Mutahi Kagwe's claims that  Kajembe's son refused to self isolate days after testing positive for the virus and that he was the source of the virus in the family. They demanded an apology from the CS and Nairobi Governor Mike Sonko.

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/Bgtqj9p23tk 

"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.

Transcending from an African household name to a global superstar, chart topping Nigerian musician and creative Adekunle Gold marks this chapter of his ascension with the release of his new album Afro Pop Vol. 1.

Foreshadowed by internationally acclaimed singles “AG Baby” and the sensational “Something Different”, Adekunle’s third studio album and first with Universal/EMI emerges as a fresh approach to the crooner’s sound, more embracing of wider influences while underpinned by the traditional West African sounds that positioned him as a unique force in music.

Going from the rock-laced “Exclusive” and the dancehall-leaning “Pretty Girl” to firmly embracing the afro-pop label with sweet “Here For Ya”, he seeks a diverse evolution here.

More progressive pop sounds are adopted, a noticeable departure from the high-life sounds of his 2017 Billboard-charting debut Gold.

Nonetheless, his highlife roots and a love for the six strings of the guitar run deep on this project, and his unmistakable vocals are the rich tapestry that expertly weaves the album together.

His most ambitious body of work to date, with notable guests including Tekno, Patoranking and Nailah Blackman speaking to the calibre of this new release.

Adekunle shares: “I’m so glad that I set out to do this project, it’s better than anything that I thought I could ever do here.”

Capturing audiences as he continues to push creative boundaries with his art, Adekunle Gold has continued to see incredible success to date, with his sophomore album About 30, going onto make the consideration list for the 2019 Grammy Awards category for Best World Album as well as being the talk of key tastemakers to date incl. NOTION, BILLBOARD, OKAYAFRICA, NATIVE MAGAZINE and COMPLEX.

Afro Pop Vol. 1 is Adekunle Gold’s true arrival. Not wavered by the pressures to conform, he leans into every fibre of his self-expression making this his most special album to date.
