A song written by Melbourne’s The Sphere Agency is to be performed in front of a global television audience of an estimated 700m people at the closing ceremony of soccer tournament the Africa Cup of Nations.
The song, which was originally written for Sphere’s former client Nando’s, is to be sung by African star Yvonne Chaka Chaka.
The closing ceremony will be broadcast in Australia on Eurosport, which is available to Foxtel subscribers.
Proceeds from the song, which goes on sale on iTunes tomorrow, go towards fighting malaria in Africa through the charity United Against Malaria.
The song was co-written by The Sphere Agency founder Michael Abdul and Dennis Dowlut, lead singer from the band Electric Empire.
