Sudanese rapper Emmanuel Jal recently teamed up with Zain for a charity fundraising concert in Nairobi on May 1.
Jal was planning on hosting two surprise guests for the charity concert, American rapper Nas and Jamaican singer Damian Jr Gong Marley. However, despite his efforts the two won’t be attending because of time and logistics related issues.
Yulia Holko, Jal’s business partner confirmed that he was planning to incorporate the two for his concert. “Jal has been working with Nas, Damien Marley and Macy Gray on various projects. He would have loved to have them over but it is impossible because of the time and logistics involved. Maybe for another event in the future because their work relationship is just developing,” Yulia said.
“They have been doing a number of big projects together, Jal has recorded a track with all three and Damien is producing Jal’s next album,” she added.
The concert is aimed at raising money to benefit Gua Africa, a NGO working to build a school in Leer, Southern Sudan.
