Liz Ogumbo Performs at the 2012 Indian Ocean Music Market

The sultry and sassily refreshing Kenyan songstress Liz Ogumbo may not be based in the country as much but the music she churns out continues to transcend borders and soothe souls.

Hot off the release of her 10 track album, the KenSoul experience, Johannesburg-based Liz was at the recently concluded Indian Ocean Music Market (IOMMA) drumming up support for her amazing album and performing at the second edition of IOMMA on the Reunion Island from the 29th to the 31st of May 2012.

Her album KenSoul features some of her hit singles which include the afro-ethnic fusion number ‘Maro Pa More’ which sounds like a concoction of island and continental tunes and the hugely successful ‘Big (Nyash) in Blue Jeans’… sure to be a hit with alternative, jazz and contemporary music lovers.

Here’s the promotional video to her album release
