Nigerian Superstar Yemi Alade Beats Kenyan Musicians At Their Game Perfectly With This Swahili Gospel Song (Video)

It has been quite sometime since a major African artiste outside East Africa did a Swahili song yet it appears it has been worth the wait.

Nigerian superstar has broken the trend and the result  has been perfect. This is surprising because usually it is South African stars and Congolese stars who make the effort to either adopt a Swahili song or add Swahili lines in their songs.

Alade has translated her song to match her Swahili audience and the result is not just a masterpiece but arguably better than the original while helping propel her to the undisputed top female star in Africa.

There is no doubt that Bien Aime did do her justice with his help in her translating of the song ensuring this was not just a mere word for word replacement. Here is the song which has already attracted massive fans with many lauding her ability to perform in the new language.
