EXCLUSIVE: Meet Airtel Trace Music Star Finalists (Part 2)

At the beginning of October 2014, Bharti Airtel Limited and Trace International began a hunt for music stars in Africa: Individuals who had little or no previous experience in a music competition.

All competitors had to do was sing in a phone and wait for a call in the mobile competition dubbed 'Airtel Trace Music Star'.

Last week I shared with you a piece with five of the 13 finalists representing their individual countries into the finals in Kenya this March 28.

Here’s a follow-up, five more…
