“I must say we are happy that we are touring North America for the first time and we will use the opportunity to the best of our abilities. It is a chance for us to tap into a new market as well,” said Moyo.

A member of the group, Duduzile Sibanda said they had already launched their second album titled Ekhaya online for their fans abroad.
“We are really looking forward to performing in Canada. Our second album Ekhaya was released online. The idea was to give our fans a sample of what we have to offer. We would like to have a scenario where they are able to sing along with us, as we tour and also officially launch it back home. The support from both home and outside has been incredible,” she said.
