Nigerian Afropop sensation — Ayra Starr and Zimbabwe’s very own songstress Tamy Moyo will share the stage at the upcoming Sunshine Cup on 14 October 2023 at the Borrowdale Racecourse.
The show is a combination of fashion, food, music and racing all in the place.
Organized by Kayse Connect this will be Ayra Starr’s debut performance in the capital Harare and will follow on the success of other Nigerian musicians to have performed in Zimbabwe the likes of Burna Boy, Davido, Joeboy, Fireboy DML and Wizkid among others.
Like all top-notch gigs, this comes with a dress code and attendees will be asked to wear anything stylish.
And Kayse Connect must have done their research in pairing up the divas Ayra Starr and Tamy Moyo who are talented artists in their own right.
Tamy has been steadily attracting audiences in her orbit through her easy and sing along tunes.
From Kuteera, Kwandinobva and Ndibereka to Do My Own Thing where she exhibited nothing but the best in song and dance.
Her range encompasses sweet melodies and feel-good lyrics that relate to everyday people. Her stage work has also improved over time and when she performs on stage, she gives fans a show.
That said, Ayra Starr who was born Oyinkansola Sarah Aderibigbe is a Beninese -born Nigerian singer.
Representing what is commonly known as ama 2000s mean she was born in 2002, began a fashion career at the age of 16 with Quove Model Management before deciding to pursue a career in music. After covering several songs by popular artists on Instagram, she posted her first original song on her page in December 2019.
This brought her to the attention of record executive Don Jazzy, who signed her to his record label Marvin Records.
Although musically diverse, Starr’s sound has predominantly been categorized as Afro-pop and R&B.
Her voice has been described in the media as “silky”, “cozy”, “delicate”, “sturdy”, “arresting” and “soulful”, with music critics noting the dynamic nature of her range and emotional delivery.
Her lyrics are a mixture of English, Nigerian Pidgin English and Yoruba, often exploring contemporary topics such as love, relationship, empowerment and freedom. In Zimbabwe like elsewhere in the world Ayra Starr’s Rush has been having more spins on the airwaves and in clubs.
