Lela with Lela Kuflom from Eri-TV: A Rising Eritrean artist

For Eritrean musical star Lela Kuflom the year 2007 has been the re-launching point for her musical career and ever since then she has not looked backwards. She has proven that she was worthy of being a top-notch singer in the Eritrean musical scene.

Born in 1988 at the height of the big battles that took place in the war for independence to a martyred father and a mother who was a fierce freedom fighter in the town of Ararib, Northern Red Sea region, Lela grew up liking music and went to Asmara music school to study musical instruments. Her mother encouraged her as she preferred that Lela sing. Lela’s career came to a halt after her mother passed away in 2001. As she had to tend to her younger sister, and struggle to make ends meet, Lela was doing odd jobs and continued to help her sister making sure she attended college.
