ZAP MAMA RELEASES ReCreation and TOUR DATES

Heads Up International, a division of Concord Music Group releases Afropean vocalist and songwriter Zap Mama’s (Marie Daulne) 7th project ReCreation. The album boasts a guest list of high-profile vocalists including Bilal, G. Love, actor Vincent Cassel (La Haine, Ocean’s Twelve) and several others. The album offers everything the title suggests – a time to make a break, to renew, and to play. “That moment when you are relaxing and enjoying yourself,” says Daulne, “is the perfect moment to create a new person within yourself – to heal yourself and let go of all the negative aspects of your life. In those times when you relax, you recreate yourself.”

ZAP MAMA has teamed up with CARE to honor mothers around the world. Zap Mama will donate to CARE a percentage of the proceeds from the iTunes download of their song, “Hello To Mama,” the first single off their upcoming album ReCreation.

In the developing world, one woman, every minute of every day, dies giving birth. The proceeds from iTunes download sales of “Hello To Mama” will help CARE’s efforts to reduce persisting high maternal mortality in the world’s poorest countries.

“A percentage of the hard earned money paid for this track will go to CARE with the vision and hope of setting the people of the world free through truth, love, and education,” says Zap Mama’s Marie Daulne.
