Kelly Rowland on African collaboration
She will record the track with South African artists Jozi, Slikour, Kwesta and Zuluboy. Also performing on the recording are Cameroon's Crotale, Senegal's Awadi, Ghana's Samini, Nigeria's 2Face, Rola from Lebanon and Uganda's Chameleon.
“Kelly Rowland is a hot international artist with crossover appeal spanning all communities, and we were ecstatic when she jumped at the opportunity to be part of this powerful anthem,” Stella said. “With the arrival of Africa's first FIFA World Cup, it was important that we attracted the cream of the continent's musical talent to collaborate on this song, as well as a world-famous headline act.”
Rowland is also known for her philanthropic work, raising awareness of causes such as the 1 Goal (www.join1goal.org) and United Against Malaria (www.unitedagainstmalaria.org) initiatives - both a major focus for her and part inspiration for her collaboration with African artists.
