His wife, Salma Sky continues to place Zambia on the map with her Afro-pop music. Her collaboration with Ghanian dance hall artist; Kaakie, is one that rocked the airwaves in the year 2017. Since the release of the collaboration called; Zambezi, Salma has gone on to release other songs such as her newest release; Triple threat. A song showcasing Salma's rarely seen word play using the art of rap, complemented by top-notch visuals.
With their newly acquired roles as ZARA ambassadors, we are in anticipation of their fashion forward display on social media and at public appearances. Without a doubt, ZARA stores will be having a lot more local clients, courtesy of their 'style-influencer' brand ambassadors.
