With her frizzy hair, diva persona vibrato voice and larger than life demeanour Chaka Khan, together with the Godfather of House Louie Vega have been confirmed as the headliners for this year’s DStv Delicious International Food & Musical Festival

When ZAlebs attended the Sony Max Upfronts event a couple of weeks ago, the organizers of the festival hinted to us that this year’s line-up would be absolutely insane and they were right! What better way to pair our indulgence of some of the most delicious food in the country than with the sounds of two of the biggest artists in the world? Especially when that locally produced food is displayed in several gourmet food markets; it really is set to be tasty pairing experience.

“DStv is excited and honoured to be the first to bring an iconic woman such as Chaka Khan to our shores, in almost two decades. Our Subscribers can attest to the fact that she has been the soundtrack to their childhoods and many more memories. To see her live, surely is a life-long dream for many.” Says Colleen Goodman, Head of Retention for DStv

One artist whose childhood was strongly influenced by Chaka Khan is Kanye West who sampled her 80’s hit track Through The Fire for his debut hit single, Through the Wire.
