Global hitmaker Sofiya Nzau is currently gearing up to perform her global hit single ‘Mwaki’ Blankets & Wine, on Sunday, December 17.
Though the song has sent ripples across the music industry internationally, the soft spoken vocalist has yet to perform it live.”I am so excited to be performing ‘Mwak’i for the first time ever,” She told The Sauce. “Before the success of ‘Mwaki,’ I had recorded countless songs, but I never knew this is the one that would bring me such great blessings.”
A collaboration between Nzau and Brazillian electronic music guru Zerb, the song has turned the music world upside down. It is unheard of that two independent artistes with no marketing budget or a major label’s backing dominated the airwaves so organically. From achieving 2.4 million streams in less than a week, gathering over 75 Million views on TikTok to being arguably the most famous Kikuyu song in history, ‘Mwaki’ has shattered countless records.
Released barely one and a half months ago, the song has got the world in a dancing trance thanks to Nzau’s distinctively soft-yet-throaty vocals which have lifted it from just another fleeting Tiktok hit into a global phenomenon. Fans await with bated breath for her debut live performance this Sunday at Blankets and Wine.
“I am really excited about Blankets, I didn’t really expect to be here so I will give 100%,” An elated Sofiya told The Sauce.
