Zap Mama Releases 'Hello to Mama' Video & Tour Dates (Lollapalooza, Essence Festival)

NEW YORK (Top40 Charts/ Zap Mama Official Website) - ZAP MAMA is teaming up with CARE to honor mothers around the world. Zap Mama will donate to CARE a percentage of the proceeds from the iTunes download of their song, 'Hello To Mama,' the first single off their upcoming album 'ReCreation', due out on Heads Up International, a division of Concord Music Group, on May 26th, 2009.

In the developing world, one woman, every minute of every day, dies giving birth. The proceeds from iTunes download sales of 'Hello To Mama' will help CARE's efforts to reduce persisting high maternal mortality in the world's poorest countries.

'A percentage of the hard earned money paid for this track will go to CARE with the vision and hope of setting the people of the world free through truth, love, and education,' says Zap Mama's Marie Daulne.
