The Star Late Edition

MUSIC CELEBRATIO­N

STAR LINE-UP TO TOUR SA

- ORIELLE BERRY

NOW in its sixth year, Music Alla Kaap is back, with a fabulous all-star line-up. The show features a host of talented artists. Internatio­nal award-winning group, All-4-One will be featuring, along with some local talent. The line-up includes, among others, Alistair Izobell, Emo Adams, Sasha-Lee Davids, Lady Zamar and Niesa Abrahams.

The show is produced and conceptual­ised by Izobell who will also be performing.

To his credit, since the show started, it has included luminaries such as the late Zayn Adam and Percy Sledge, Sipho “Hotstix” Mabuse, Judy Boucher, PJ Powers, RJ Benjamin, Richard Jon Smith, Marc Lottering, Shaleen Surtie Richards, Vicky Sampson, Leslie Kleinsmith and many more.

Says Izobell, “In essence it’s a variety show and I am a guy who understand­s variety shows. For each person selected there is a reason behind them – for example Emo Adams has been in the business for 30.

“But at the same time, while we celebrate and validate older and talented younger artists, we are also creating a platform for younger artists.

“This is what the concerts (in Johannesbu­rg, Port Elizabeth and Cape Town) are all about, a celebratio­n.”

Celebratio­n will also be the name of the game when All-4-One and 2009 Idols co-winner Sasha Lee Davids perform Izobell’s just-recorded song Africa Arise.

Says Izobell, “This concert is thus opening doors for Davids to perform with internatio­nal Grammy artists.”

The Grammy Award winning group All-4One is known for its sensuous love songs. To date they’ve sold more than 20 million units worldwide and, aside from a Grammy, have also scooped an American Music Award, a Blockbuste­r Award and more...

Davids was also the winner of the 2008 reality TV show Matrix 2.

After a two-year gap, Sasha Lee was back in the limelight with a reality TV show,

The House of Davids or Huis van Davids, showcasing the lives of the Davids family and their involvemen­t in the Cape community of Atlantis.

“Now I’m exploring different avenues of my career, including starting as the new presenter of the TV show Pasella and I’m loving every minute of it. Lots of exciting things are happening musically…,” she says.

“My biggest highlight was that I moved out of my comfort zone to work on Pasella and what I am also trying to focus on is more collaborat­ions – I’m trying to work internatio­nally and it’s a whole new journey for me.”

She’ll also be performing with her brother Lorenzo on the song Fear Chandelier.

■ The show will be performed in Johannesbu­rg at Carnival City on March 23; on March 24 in Port Elizabeth at the Board Walk ICC and at GrandWest Casino in Cape Town on March 30.
