Twenty-two—Twenty-two upcoming Nigerian artistes thrilled Lagos music fans at a live show tagged: “Mainland Invasion with Spiffy Yo and Friends’’ on Saturday.
The artistes thrilled their fans as they rendered some of their tracks live at Club Oxyzgen Toyin street Ikeja Lagos.
Mr Franklin Emeka, Chief Executive Officer of Osmek Media entertainment, the Organiser of the show said the musical performance was designed to showcase new artistes.
Emeka, the Media CEO said some of the artistes lacked the financial wherewithal to solely organise musical concerts, adding that the gesture was also to enable them to have some sense of belonging.
“I believe that music is not all about renowned artistes like Davido, Wizkid and all.
“This idea was informed by my quest to give the younger artistes the privilege to be heard and seen for local and global recognition.
“For each of the musical concerts I will be coming up with, I will be projecting one artiste. For this maiden edition, I am projecting Spiffy Yo, a talented artiste with unique musical qualities.
“For this edition, 22 artistes have performed and subsequent editions will feature more of the up-and-coming musicians alongside the renowned ones, like Davido, Burna Boy and more,’’ he said.
One of the artistes, Courage Adegboyega, popularly known as “Don Leo’’ who had been a musician since 2010, commended the organisers of the concert.
Another musician, Alfred Raphael, popularly known as “Alfredollar’’ a Masters’ degree holder in Theatre Arts, said he remained optimistic because the Nigerian entertainment industry had become an enviable one.
“Alfredollar’’ said that he had previously performed with renowned artistes like D-banj, African China, Weird MC, Triple B and Don Jazzy.
Other artistes that performed on Saturday were Damilola Fatogun “DJ Green’’, Gospel Nnadi “GP Yasky’’ Ovkings, New Skyboi, and many more.
Damilola Fadipe, one of the fun seekers at the event said she was thrilled by the performances and added that Nigerian artistes are truly well-endowed.
Fadipe urged the Federal Government to provide platforms to sustain the showcasing of up-and-coming artistes so as to shoot them to limelight.
She said this was important as the youths needed to be engaged positively to prevent them from engaging in social vices.
“I am actually marvelled with what I saw tonight. This is a confirmation that truly, Nigeria is well endowed with musical talents capable of projecting the nation as a hub of entertainment.
“Government only needs to do more to encourage them,’’ Fadipe stressed. (NAN)
