When the announcement was made months ago that juju maestro, King Sunny Ade, Asa, 2Baba and D’banj would light up the stage of the Eko Atlantic on Independence Day, many would have thought it will be a low key affair. But from what transpired on the night, it certainly wasn’t!
An initiative of Main Group and grand finale of the much talked about Made-in-Nigeria Festival, the Supremacy Concert attracted music fans from far and near.
The show was opened by the amiable Sola Mogaji who introduced herself to the teeming crowd and also went on to introduce the music superstars billed to perform. Leading the pack was the living legend, King Sunny Ade popularly called KSA, who appeared in a Made-in-Nigeria bespoke Atiku outfit. He sent the crowd into nostalgia by rendering his evergreen songs back-to-back. Many would have thought his septuagenarian age would hinder him from showing his electrifying dance steps but that was not the case as he danced gracefully to the delight of the crowd.
Innocent Idibia popularly called 2Baba performed next. Kitted in an Akwa-Ibom outfit with dark shades, he reeled out his hit songs from Implication to For Instance and more, a move that left the crowd asking for more. 2Baba didn’t disappoint his fans as he also performed his new single, Officially Blind, which the fans sang along with him.
In between these performances, legendary DJ Jimmy Jatt was on hand to deliver on the wheel of steel. His fans danced without holding back as they listened to the range of hits he mixed from his jukebox.
Next on the bill was internationally recognised singer and entertainer, Asa. Wearing her trademark Nigerian fabric blouse, she literally blew away the crowd, performing hits such as Bibanke, Akinyele, Mama Mi, Satan be Gone, 360 and others. She also reminded everyone present how much of a good guitarist she was, as she latched on to her guitar, playing old songs much to the delight of all present.
Asa then surprised everyone when she attempted to praise the MaIN Founder, Prince Segun Oniru by singing a popular fuji song, even though she confessed that her band made up of white men could not replicate the beats, a move that sent the crowd into rapturous laughter.
Koko Master, D\banj came on stage in a dramatic fashion after his hype man, Jimmie, engaged the crowd in wild chants to welcome him on stage. The musician did not just thrill the audience; he also entertained them by keeping them on the edge of their seats for most part of the night, with several hits including Suddenly, Emergency, and Mr. Endowed among others.
