Lira's The Captured Tour comes to SA

The Captured Tour is a homecoming of sorts for Lira who has spent the last few months touring the planet in support of launching her international career and debut offering for the European and North American territories. The album, a collection of "best of songs", represents years of personal and musical growth and development.

Her songs will be brought to life in a stage show that has been perfected through months of touring, playing to thousands of fans across the world. Songs from all her albums, as well as new arrangements and additions to her classics, will bring a new element of surprise, as well as a few hidden performance collaborations with South African greats, culminating in a DVD recording at the Sun City Superbowl on 29 October.

Biggest DVD production

"We are making this the biggest DVD production ever captured on African Soil, again", said Robin Kohl, DVD production head and manager. "We're taking what we did in 2009 and doubling the scale - we are also capturing Liras' performances through the eyes of fans at each and every destination, throughout the tour. Fans will be part of a truly interactive capturing process and become our roving camera team in each venue. We will find 'superfans' in each city who will be given tasks to film Lira, backstage happenings and gain an all-access experience as to what goes on behind the scenes in Lira's world. This is the most powerful experience we have been able to offer fans and is the very concept behind this tour".

As much as Lira loves touring the world, for her, South Africa is her home, physically and spiritually and it is where she draws her inspiration.
