About Us
Summary
Zons Holdings are aware of the world of talent that is based in Africa and the number of successful artists that are of direct African descent who have carved successful international careers. We feel that the African entertainment industry needs a major boost into the fore front of the world stage.
This has led us to believe that it is integral for us to create a platform that show cases top home grown African R&B and Hip hop artists, thus the creation of Africa Unite.
Zons Touring Division has created an avenue for the most successful US acts to visit and tour the African continent and are now working closely with Zons Events to provide African artists with the same opportunity in the UK, as well as providing an avenue for music lovers in the UK to have a personal and first hand experience of the whorl of untapped African talent.
Africa Unite will celebrate and more importantly give major and direct media exposure of the billed artists to both die hard and potential fans based in the UK and to the key movers and shakers of the UK entertainment industry.
Our Vision is for Africa Unite to convey a high impact message by way of delivering an exciting and diverse concert featuring a wide spectrum of African artists with one focus in mind: high-quality performances by a group of artists who are passionate about their music and having their voices heard and marked by the rest of the world.
