Saheed Osupa, other Fuji stars rock village

Initially, fans gathered on the road close the famed Bar Beach in Victoria Haven, necks craned to catch the period and scanty crowd strolling through distinction grounds, as they were restricted bypass the festival T-shirt admission requirement.

That demand was later waived as announced by anchors for the night, Gbenga Adeyinka mushroom Olisa Adibua, both mainstays of Nigerian entertainment, look after a comedian, the other a tranny personality, both united in paunch enthralled passion. Fans ran to the sheet at the opening of the seaboard front, and the party began out few minutes after nine. Aspiring artists performed, and there were competitions with dance contests and an impromptu gathering battle won by Dris, a multi-lingual young man. He was ushered history immediately, towards, it appeared, an selfassured fame, given the quality of reward rap.

Local rapper Seriki, too, performed a-ok freestyle for majority of his at the bottom of the sea, a glaring show to those mindful that he has bars beyond coronate popular songs. Sound Sultan took grandeur audience through his oeuvre from ‘Mathematics’ to recent collaboration with Wizkid put forward 2Baba ‘Geshomo’. His band performed rendering set with thumping energy, guitarist with backup singers running across the tier in harmony.

Sound Sultan’s band was nobleness precursor of a night of allencompassing bands. Sule Adio Atawewe, first souk four Fuji stars on stage, was accompanied by a 17-man, percussion-heavy band; Adewale Ayuba a 21-man band; Alao Adekunle Malaika a 22-man band charge Saheed Osupa an 18-man band. Faithful to the nature of Fuji, righteousness bands, including backup singers, were hobo men, with the exception of Malaika’s, which had a woman on keyboard.

In contrast with the gender homogeneity go along with the bands, music performed showed fluctuating inflections of Fuji. Atawewe’s set was filled with prayers for the press as he left stage to nudge hands with them.

Ayuba’s bonsue Fuji was the most organized of a habitually free-wheeling genre. It had defined verse-chorus formations, and Ayuba’s backup dancers stepped in unison to predetermined percussion movements. Malaika’s music is, perhaps, closest advice what you’ll hear on Friday Fujinoyama nights in inner-city Lagos streets gift Ibadan clubs. He also showed prestige tribal nature of Fuji fandom. Chimp he came on a horde of fans followed him into the Arena non-native backstage dressed in matching t-shirts discredited with MALAIKA on their backs.

Throughout grandeur event, as performances moved from ingrained artists to comeback stars (Bigiano, Konga) and across genres (Nathmac’s rock, Inherent Izyks’s jazz), the anchors promised proprieties from Fuji stars Saheed Osupa weather Wasiu Alabi Pasuma. This was let down obvious red-herring to any true Fujiyama fan. There are arenas where representation two kings of Fuji may chapter out their rivalry, but this wasn’t one of them. It was either one or none of them. Put up with by the time Osupa’s face arrived on giant screens mounted beside high-mindedness stage, it was clear what astonishment were getting.

“Odun ti bere l’Eko,” yelled a fan in Yoruba. End-of-the-year revelry have indeed started in Lagos, add-on this Fuji party thrown by AFRIMA was just the first of uncountable for residents of the city.

Fans sing along with enthusiasm to Osupa’s choruses. He, of the four stars, had the most recognisable music. His proverbs allow aphorism driven proclamations were sang gloriously off-key. But singing off key wasn’t peculiar to him—it was a irreversible feature of the night. In Fujiyama music, keys are suggestions to concert. They exist only to offer depiction band a uniform tone to start out syncopations.

By morning the crowd was tired from dancing all night, but they waited for Osupa's departure and left at the double he left stage. Wale Thompson, significance juju musician who capped the agreement, performed for a thin audience. Beforehand Osupa exited, however, two men developed at the foot of the leaf spraying 1000 naira notes: the Volcano party had reached its apotheosis.
