For Immediate Release:
Anyone who’s ever seen a performance by Ivory Coast superstar Fely Tchaco knows that this is World Music at its vibrant and melodious best. Having chalked up several albums and scores of live shows in the Bay Area since her move here many years ago, this dynamic singer-songwriter,award-winning recording artist, Billboard nominee and former STARS model is now about to turn over a new leaf with the production of San Francisco’s first-ever 100% ethnically-inspired runway fashion show, combined with an evening of live entertainment, amazing food, awesome poetry, stand-up comedy, appealing art and spirited dance.
The event will be held on Saturday August 3rd 2013 from 6:00PM to 11:00PM at the Museum of the African Diaspora (MOAD) located at 685 Mission Street in San Francisco, CA.

The goal of this unique show is to not only give back to San Francisco, but to also promote cultural diversity, raise awareness of key roles minority artists play in the United States, promote a greater participation and help strengthen their positions in the art industry, locally, nationally, and internationally.
