All Stars Concert. Read more
The concert is billed for Calabar tomorrow and next week in
Lagos on Friday 28, June 2013.
The music reality show’s past winners and runners-up, who
have become household names across the continent are Iyanya, Chidinma, Praiz,
Nicholas, Kesse, Musulyn, Adetoun and others will enliven the cities.
The concert is generating excitement among youths, who have
been clamouring for a live performance from their music icons, whom they have
watched become super-stars.
Notable among them is Iyanya, who has surmounted some
hurdles before him. He has gained international recognition with his Kukere and peculiar dance style. He has just returned from
a successful tour of the UK.
There is also Praiz whose current value transcends all
high-value social engagements. His song ‘Super-star’ is as well in high demand
among the youths who are brimming with ambition. Most of these youths find his
songs highly intelligent and inspiring. Besides, his vocal ability is
endearing.
Chidinma won the hearts of Africa’s music fans with her Kedike
afro hip-hop song. Since she released her
first single, the determined young lady has gone ahead to win a wider acclaim
from authorities in Africa’s music industry. Already, she has two albums to her
credit.
Next is Kesse, a
multi-talented Ghanaian musician. He is on top of music charts both on
broadcast staions in the country. He is even expanding into Nigeria and other
West African countries. His debut single O Yes is a rare combination of rich lyrics and beats. He will be coming into
the country in company of Musulyn, a Liberian diva, who was a finalist on the
reality show, last year.
Mike showed a flicker of talent when he released his Fine
Fine Baby single, a year after winning the
MTN Project Fame. Adetoun is the reincarnation of Queen Abeni Salawa’s
extraordinary talent. She is already being taunted as a replacement for the
‘Waka Queen’.
These stars have won various awards. Iyanya received the
Headies Hip Hop Award last year. Chidinma has won the KORA music award. Kesse
was recently won the Ghanaian Music Award, an equivalent of Headies Hip-Hop
award in Nigeria.
In the next two weeks, these youthful products of the most
popular and productively enduring musical reality show in Africa, MTN Project
Fame West Africa, will ignite the Nigerian music scene with their performances
which will come up next July.
