Johannesburg\u2014September 21\u2014It was a star studded night at Sandton\u2019s L\u2019Opulence last night as the Africa Leaders 4 Change Awards (ALCA) hosted a listening session to their theme song.<\/p>\n

The song features a mix of rich African talent such as Akon, Yvonne Chaka Chaka, Jah Prayzah, Peter Square, Fally Ipupa, Danno Peterson, Themba Mhinga and many more.<\/p>\n

The event, hosted by South Africa\u2019s darling, Nonhle Thema was full of surprises. Zimbabwe\u2019s Jah Prayzah, sang part of the song live, on stage, to a dancing crowd. He also sang his most famous hit \u201cMdhara vachauya\u201d bringing the entire room of about 60 guests to their feet.<\/p>\n

\u201cI am so excited to see Jah Prayzah here. He is one of Africa\u2019s most rising stars. With his magical voice, I want to take him to the world because everyone must know his music,\u201d said music producer Hakim Abdulsamad, who also shared a song on stage.<\/p>\n

Hakim, one of Akon\u2019s top producers, also wrote and produced \u201cThe Song for Africa\u201d which united the crowd yesterday.
\u201cThe challenge was to try and fit all the great voices together, making sure people go into studio and record and then mixing and mastering the song but when working with artists as these, it can only be great,\u201d said Hakim.<\/p>\n

The event was also attended by multi-talented music producer and entrepreneur, Mbacke Dioum, Ntsiki Mazwai and Chi Mhende.<\/p>\n

Themba Mhinga, Johnross Jamela Vuma, Jared Joshua Fray, Danno Peterson also entertained the guest with life performances.<\/p>\n

The song will be officially released and performed for the first time at the ALCA award ceremony on November 21. Those who attended the event were also surprised with free tickets to attend the show.<\/p>\n

The ALCA Award ceremony will honour and recognise initiatives making a breath-taking difference and adding a positive meaningful impact in and around the African continent without any financial reward.<\/p>\n

\u201cThere is a lot of good work being done by Africans for Africa and our hope is not only to celebrate those who are giving back but to also encourage the spirit of Ubuntu in others. We need to push to be innovative in our entrepreneurship and more so in solving African problems,\u201d says ALCA Co-Founder, Shaleen Manhire Nullens.<\/p>\n
