Play Come Again {Video}
Lulu Diva delivers to everyone with discerning ears really mellow lyrical lines – sung mostly in Swahili. It is fine poesy, with, if you ask me, a detectable Sufi touch. There are several other ‘touches’ in the mix as well. They keep our ears and alerted eyes busy.
Eddy Kenzo, veteran of memorable auditory campaigns across our remembered 'terrains' and pasts – glows here in his Ugandan accent, and fits right in. He brings true flava to the show, from where-ever he’s been to.

beat, spreading like an audible surround-haze, and like ‘wild’ fire in the
savanna, binds the two artists, and us – all of us – in a manifest communal part-a-king.
But, lasting only 3:13 minutes, it ends before it is past the gate – as it were;
before we, the audience, have the chance to look at each other in silent
acknowledgement of what a thing we have there...
