Kenya's own music icon, Amani is in Chicago with other members of the revolutionary Pan-African super group branded ONE8 (myone8.com), comprising eight of some of the best music artistes Africa has produced. Amani will be joining Nigeria's talented superstar TuFace Idibia, Ugandan hip hop artist Navio, Zambia's JK, Tanzanian Ali Kiba of the Cinderella fame, Ghanaian trio 44, Gabonese duo Movaizhaleine and DRC's hot sensation Fally Ipupa.
The ONE8 phenomenon is so big that the Pan-Africa group will not only be joined by one of the biggest global megastars and icons in music for its first single and video but this unnamed icon who has defined R&B and Hip-Hop in the world, will produce the song and video while the number one recording giant, Sony Music, who gave the world rockstars such as Elvis Presley, Michael Jackson, Beyonce, Pink, Alicia Keys, R Kelly among others, will be doing the recording.
As these artists record the song and video in the USA, millions of fans will experience this music revolution and historic journey as it happens. They will also experience their favorite stars up close and personal and roam where no fan has roamed before with digital all access passes delivered personally by these superstars to their fans. They will be connected with them around the clock through the ROCKSTAR4000 website (www.rockstar4000.com), FaceBook, Twitter and YouTube and live webcasts on location. 10 A custom branded ONE8 ipads have been thrown in to hype the experience and will be up for grabs as the greatest showcase of African talent gets underway.
The all star group is taking the best music from Africa to the global stage, connecting millions of fans through the universal language of music. All the artists are working together to create a song that is truly Pan-African. The group will also shoot a video in Chicago which will be released globally with the first single in November, alongside a full album and DVD soon after.
Enchanted Landscapes thinks that this is truly a ground-breaking moment in the history of African music as ONE8 proceeds to define new boundaries of achievement never before imagined. We wish them all the best.
