Marsha Moyo: ‘Women Celebrated’
Six months after her return from Burj-al-Arab Dubai, the
only 7-star hotel in the world, where she was contracted for a three
months performance, 2003 double KORA All Africa awards nominee for
‘Revelation of the Year’ and ‘Best Female Artist-Southern Africa,’
and 2003 SAMA (South African Music Awards) nominee for ‘Best African
Artist,’ singer Marsha Moyo, creates Women Celebrated.
Written, composed
and sung by Marsha, the lyrics are deep, reflective and encompassing
of women and girls all over the world. For the song project, Women
Celebrated is produced in six different versions, musically most
indigenous with the six continents of the world. For the CD booklet,
Marsha identified, requested and received participation from six
female world figures for their respective photographs, a short
feature on their lives synonymous with the lyrics and for each of
them to share a meaningful personal remark on offering renewed hope.
The professional, racial, religious and social diversity of the
women is well thought out. The foreword for the project is by Her
Majesty Queen Noor of Jordan, of both North American and Middle
Eastern heritage, who is a UN Expert Advisor, President, Patron and
an active member of over thirty international community development
organisations. While the project features Jane Goodall PhD, DBE of
Europe, otherwise known as the ‘Chimpanzee lady’, Nobel Peace
laureate Daw Aung San Suu Kyi from Asia, internationally-heralded
author Marjorie Agosin PhD from South America, one of Africa’s most
renowned freedom fighters Winnie Madikizela-Mandela and sports woman
extraordinaire, Australian Kay Cottee, AO.
For Women
Celebrated, Marsha has received two KORA nominations for Best
African Female Artist- Southern Africa and Best Video. She begins
her first world tour mid-December 2004. |
