Kaya FM's unique music position of soul & jazz is what will make this Mother's Day a unique one with a performance by platinum-selling South African singer, model and actress Lira, supported by the internationally acclaimed Chamber Orchestra of Johannesburg. This first ever collaboration of the artists will be under the musical direction of conductor Kutlwano Masote; who made his debut during the 2006 Arts Alive Festival conducting the music of Todd Matshikiza and Ladysmith Black Mambazo.
Part of the line-up also includes Maleh, who is a SAMA Award winner for her album "Step Child Maleh". The young Afro-Soul songstress has collaborated with many South African artists including DJ Ganyani - "Not so Far" and the international hit with DJ Kent - "Falling".
Kaya FM, Spar and JCPZ's Afropolitan families can look forward to interacting with Kaya FM personalities such as Bob Mabena, Mo-G and other friends of the station. As a family station, fun games have been arranged for kids, whilst good music and Zoo tours will be available throughout the day.
"Collaborations are important for Kaya FM, so we are excited about our partnership with Spar and JCPZ on Mother's Day. Kaya FM always strives to create experiences that are suitable for our Afropolitan audience and the Johannesburg Zoo is a perfect setting for a family-orientated event".
Kaya FM Managing Director- Greg Maloka also stated that "Our music genre of soul & jazz is what makes Kaya FM special and we thank Lira, the Chamber Orchestra of Johannesburg and Maleh for collaborating and sharing their voices and music with us."
Celebrating Mothers should be done every day! Kaya FM and Spar are certain there is no better way to celebrate Mom, than to spend the day at the Johannesburg Zoo, listening to good music, with good friends, amongst the sights and sounds of Joburg's rich fauna and flora.
"These partnerships play a significant role in bringing families together, experiencing outdoor venues like the Zoo and having fun, all in one space," said Bulumko Nelana, Managing Director, Johannesburg City Parks and Zoo. Johannesburg Zoo has put in place the expertise of an acoustic consultant to ensure that the sound levels are closely monitored and to safeguard the wellbeing of the animals.
