Lela Kiflom: New CD Release (Mimhal Kigedfo)
Eritrean entertainer Lela Kiflom has been in the spotlight of the Eritrean music scene along side of the many new and upcoming artists that have proven to be outstanding. She has shown her ability to capture an audience through her crisp and smooth voice. In the past couple of years, she has come out with many single songs and also performed as part of the cultural troupe throughout the country on many occasions including those put together by the National Holidays Organizing Committee.
To go back to her short biography and life story Lela was born in 1988 at the height of the big battles that took place in the war for independence to a martyred father and a mother who was a fierce freedom fighter in the town of Ararib, Northern Red Sea region, Lela grew up liking music and went to Asmara music school to study musical instruments. With the encouragement of her beautiful mother Lela never gave up dreaming of becoming an entertainer/singer. Lela’s career came to a halt after her mother passed away in 2001. Taking care of her younger sister and struggling to make ends meet, Lela was working odd jobs and helped to get her sister an education and a better life. She took on the responsibility of being a great Eritrean citizen that did not abandon the martyrdom of her parents. She is an inspiration and a person who must get support from Eritreans and friends of Eritreans. She exemplifies what Eritrea is proud of the fact that Eritreans were and continue to be her guardians. Her perseverance in life has allowed her to be on the spotlight through her musical journey. As most people are already aware Lela can sing in three important Eritrean languages Tigrigna, Arabic, and Tigre uniting the people of Eritrea closer to one another. An amazing talent, Lela is now officially releasing her first album titled “Mimhal Kigedfo” loosely translated “I will stop making promises”.
To support this aspiring and already successful child of the Eritrean people there will be a CD Release celebration at the ECCC (Eritrean Cultural and Civic Center) in Washington D.C. Come out and support Lela Kiflom. Sponsored by several Eritrean businesses, individuals and Delina Solutions.
