Emperors Palace Hotel & Casino Signs First Concert Residency Deal

Emperors Palace Hotel and Casino signed on its first concert resident in the form of the Afropop sensation, Zahara. The Mali singer, who has taken South African music by storm, has inked a five-year partnership with Emperors Palace Hotel Casino, one of Gauteng’s premier entertainment destinations.

But unlike the kind of residency programs that we are used to reading about, when the stars base themselves in locations such as Las Vegas, Zahara won’t be stationed only in Gauteng. Instead, she will be on the move between all branches of the Emperors Palace group. A schedule of Zahara’s performances – due to begin at the beginning of 2020 – will be published in the near future.

In a press interview, Zahara said that she was very excited about being the first South African artist to sign a concert residency deal with the casino group.

Her manager, Oyama Dyosiba, added: “Zahara is growing as an artist and she appeals to everyone from young kids to gogos.”

It wasn’t revealed how much money the residency program is worth, since negotiations are still underway.
