Having fun at our Lifehouse show in Lagos, Nigeria.
Bantu & Nneka’s “I’m Waiting” is making waves on the World Wide Music circuit. With 2 great remixes by Basement Freaks and Jim Dunloop & Grizzly Adams this song is set to rock the airwaves and clubs this summer.
……….the guests were again treated to musical performances by German-Nigerian maverick singer, Ade Bantu and his band. Bantu, who first played three hot numbers, Ile Ona Jin, Listen Attentively and Lagos, succeeded in drawing a handful of guests to the dancing floor. He also admonished corrupt politicians through his lyrics, urging them to turn in a new leaf after the coming general elections.
Also veteran highlife meastro, Fatai Rolling Dollar thrilled with several numbers, including his hit Won Kere si Number Wa, to which the crowd mimed and danced. The octogenarian expectedly demonstrated his skills through dancing and stagecraft. Returning to stage after Dollar was Nkechinyere Chinazaekpere Mbakwe, better known as Chinaza, who rendered Take am Easy and other romantic numbers in sweet melodic voice.
Meanwhile, Afrobeat icon, Orlando Julius Ekemode (OJ), sent the crowd partying with his two popular numbers, Jagua Nana and Ijo Soul. He was in company of his wife Latoya and his performance proved to the audience that he is indeed a master of his art.
