Local diva Lira is set to perform at Us Present Barack
Obama's inaugural ball in Washington DC. Lira, whose real name is Lerato
Molapo, will bring her African magic to the event. The I’m A Believer singer’s
manager and husband Robin Kohl confirmed that Lira had landed the prestigious
gig, which he described as “massive”. He said: “There are several themed balls
that take place for the inauguration. There is a new addition with an African
theme that focuses on African artists. Lira was short listed for this and we
are absolutely stoked to confirm that she will be performing.” Paddy Harper of
City Press reported that Robin added: “We have been plugging away at the US
market for three years now. We have an independent distributor and a publicist
in LA. We have been there about three months of every year and people are now
getting to know who she is.” He added: “This is an amazing opportunity. The
ball will be televised by networks from all over the world. The exposure is
massive. How many people can say that they have performed live for an
African-American US president? “We are
ecstatic about this. We have really worked hard at breaking into the US market
and now it seems to be paying off at last.”
