Kefee's Profile Irikefe Obareki popularly known as Kefee is a Nigerian live performing/ recording female artiste, a United Nation Young Ambassador for Peace and a modern day African music ambassador to the world. Her unique afro-centric music appeal recently received global recognition when she was selected as the poster African artiste for 2011 edition African music at The African Festival of the Arts in Chicago (AFA). With her well lauded performance in Chicago, Kefee has now joined the hallowed list of other African music greats to mount the same platform such as Angelique Kidjo and Hugh Masekela. That international exposure among numerous other tours to several parts of Africa, Europe and the rest of the world is a further testament to her growing cross-cultural music appeal. Her recognition as United Nation Ambassador for Peace is in recognition of her contribution towards bringing lasting peace to troubled regions in Nigeria such as the Niger Delta region where she hails of from and lately the Northern Nigerian city of Jos, Plateau State. Aside recently staging a concert and donating relief items to victims of violence in Jos, she also led over 20 artistes representing diverse cultures to record a peace song. In 2005, she was honoured as Kora Award's Best African Traditional Award South Africa. Kefee’s afro-pop music appeal has seen her work worked with artistes from around the African continent such as Ghana’s Becca. A passionate singer, song writer and skilled dancer, the Sapele, Delta State-born artiste has three solo albums to her credit including Branama (2003), Branama II (200X) and A Piece of Me (2009). Although her professional foray into music began with a joint album with a friend known as Estee entitled Trip (2000), however her first solo effort released in 2003 was greeted to a rousing reception. Branama sold nine hundred (900,000) thousand audio cassettes within three weeks of the album’s release and over two million copies of CDs/VCDs in a month.
