Amira performs "I'll Walk with God" in duet with South African tenor Lukhanyo Moyake. Moyake's voice has been compared to that of Mario Lanza. Mario Lanza recorded this song for the film "The Student Prince" in 1954. It was lip synced by Edmund Purdom in the film. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_OQ2Cc6yFz4
The following comment on YouTube about this song is wonderfully worded.
Amira is a force of nature. A young girl with this incredible voice and a commanding stage presence way beyond her years. She has a grace, dignity, modesty, seriousness of purpose. She sings here with a very fine tenor many years her senior. I think both feel privileged to be performing with the other.
With the Cape Town Opera production of Porgy and Bess, Lukhanyo Lukhanyo spent the 2014/15 season touring in Spain, singing the part of Sportin’ Life at both the Teatro Real de Madrid and the Gran Teatre del Liceu Barcelona.
In the summer of 2015 and 2016 he made it to the finals of the International Hans Gabor Belvedere Singing Competition, held in Amsterdam. He also won 3rd prize in the Neue Stimmen International Singing Competition, held in Germany.
Alongside his career in opera, he performs regularly in concerts, performing Lieder and oratorios. In 2016 he won the Emmerich Smola Forderpreis in Landau Germany. He recently sang the role of Naraboth in Salome, Don Jose in Carmen and is currently working on the role of the Duke in Rigoletto.
