"In addition to singing he danced"

Translation: Licha ya kuimba alicheza

[Nimefurahi]

I am a little confused, doesn't "licha ya" mean "despite"? I can't find "in addition" in any online dictionary either.

[machieng]

it can also be used to mean 'not only'

[BailBarker]

Why am i getting 'fauka ya'? And there's no wiktionary page for fauka...

[Ernst557459]

fauka kl ~ ya apart from that; besides [TUKI Kamusi].

[Graham932070]

Why can't you say "Zaidi ya kuimba alicheza"

[TheresaJoh295047]

Wait, what? Earlier, "licha ya" was used for "despite." How are these the same?
