I posted this earlier. This post is a reminder:

South African singer Yvonne Chaka Chaka to speak in Kumamoto on June 18 at 11AM, Contemporary Art Museum of Kumamoto. According to the subtitle of the talk, she will speak about her role in the struggle to overcome apartheid. Ms. Chaka sang at Nelson Mandela’s funeral and has performed for many famous people: “Throughout her illustrious career Chaka Chaka has met people like Nelson Mandela (singing at his 85th birthday party), the Queen and Oprah Winfrey. Chaka Chaka’s continuing legacy as “Princess of Africa” is a testament to her connection to everyday people as well as royalty.
