Brilliant A Capella Tribute to Mercy Myra

AnnieSoul (Annette Oduor) was born and raised in Nairobi who performs as a vocalist and pianist but is also a songwriter and producer.

According to her Website, “she serves up her unique take on a Swahili (sometimes Luo)-laden, socially conscious neo-soul sound, doused in African rhythms, with just the right tinge of jazz (aka Afro Soul). Drawing on her experiences in Nairobi, and across the continent, AnnieSoul has come to embody the cosmopolitan and multicultural nature of her hometown.”

She has racked up an enviable resume with a slew of covers made over the last one year, most of them a capella. Below is a medley of songs she covered as a tribute to Kenyan music legend Mercy Myra that would definitely make Ghafla!’s list of the best cover songs.

“I have always wanted to pay homage to Mercy Myra who is a very great and talented Kenyan vocalist. Somehow, this all fell into place while doing this Kenyan Cover Songs series. So here are a few of her classics and her new hit, glad to have the queen back. Please do enjoy.”
