ABOUT US:

Women of the World is an international vocal ensemble that came together three years ago to bring musicians from all over the world onto a common platform.

Led by four women vocalists, the group was founded by Ayumi Ueda (Japan) who was joined by Ali Rapetti (USA), Giorgia Renosto (Italy) and Annette Philip (India). Together with their eclectic band, Women of the World has performed in over a dozen of the world’s languages. From Bulgarian, Cuban, Latino, Brazilian, Italian, African, Indian and Japanese music to spontaneous improvisation and a-cappella interludes, the unique music which stems forth from this mixture of artistry has created for a sound which is all its own- borderless, spirited, and carrying the undeniable message of unity.

The group has also supported various causes including fundraisers for victims of natural disasters in Haiti, Pakistan, and most recently, Japan.

Following their recent New York debut at the Weill Recital Hall at Carnegie Hall, NY, Women of the World is now gearing up for an international tour next year. (www.womenoftheworldmusic.c­om) 

ANOTHER COUNTRY THROUGH MY EYES – BEHIND THE CAMERA

CUT - Hieber & Harris in the studio awaiting 'Action'

SATURDAY, MARCH 06, 2010
NEW YORK, NY
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

At 2AFRIKA’s studio in New York City this week, Kenneth R. Hieber talked with Ronnie Harris of 1Time Airlines, a South African airline operating from Johannesburg O.R. Tambo International Airport.

The airlines extensive domestic network was born of the courage of four men followed by a 5th who believed in them. It started as a dream that quickly became a reality. Now in its 6th year in service, 1Time Airlines not only serves the all of the major cities of South Africa but has extended service to Livingstone in Zambia, the gateway to the Victoria Falls, and even further afield, Zanzibar – the Spice Islands in the Indian Ocean.

In this episode of ANOTHER COUNTRY THROUGH MY EYES, Hieber and Harris discuss the financial benefits of flying 1Time Airlines; the carriers’ slogan is 'More Nice. Less Price.', as well as the range of destinations served within South Africa.

"Travelers wanting to take a trip in Southern Africa can now, finally, extend into the Indian Ocean and visit the exotic Spice Islands at a very affordable cost," said Kenneth Hieber. He added, "It’s a fantastic way to round-up a vacation and travelers are well advised to consider a 1Time extension to Zanzibar."

The name 1Time is a reflection of the South African soul of the company. In South Africa, the phrase "one time!" is a colloquialism meaning "for real!"

ANOTHER COUNTRY THROUGH MY EYES, a TV show dedicated to the passion of African travel is recorded at 2AFRIKA’s studio in New York City and on location in Africa. Episodes air online and are produced by Kenneth R. Hieber and Directed by filmmaker Chris Digman. Graphic designer Eric Langlay of ETV Media assists with pre and postproduction editing. ANOTHER COUNTRY THROUGH MY EYES is a division of the Kenneth R. Hieber Group of Travel Companies and all rights are reserved.

IN THEIR OWN WORDS – Just back from Kenya – a report back from 2AFRIKA’s valued passengers

THURSDAY, DECEMBER 11TH, 2008
NEW YORK, NY
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Hi Ken,

I'm writing to tell you just how much my husband and I enjoyed our safari to Kenya. Everything went so smoothly. It was truly better than I ever anticipated. We saw the "Big 5", never got stuck in the mud (but very close several times!), had a wonderful safari guide and were so pleased with all the accommodations. What an incredibly beautiful and interesting country. I went through my pictures last night...several very good ones. I'm most pleased.

Thanks for all you help in arranging everything. I will certainly recommend 2AFRIKA, INC. to any of our friends planning a trip to Africa.

Happy Holidays!

CL
