Music freaks in Port Harcourt had a
taste of real live action last weekend, when Globacom let loose some of
its ambassadors in the Rivers State capital.
Top on the list were Ayo Balogun,
popularly called Wizkid, and Chinedu Okoli, also known as Flavour, who
went beyond miming as they headlined the Glo Slide ‘n’ Bounce concert.
Apart from the fact that both artistes
showed that they are still very much in form, they stormed the Garden
City with their bands, a trait that has become a rarity at many events
in Nigeria.
The
two, along with Bez and Burna Boy, thus gave the residents’ who
gathered at the Aztech Arcum Event Centre, venue of the show, a
memorable experience.
According to the organisers, Wizkid performed his popular tunes that include Ojuelegba, which sent his fans wild excitement.
“Flavour also put up a command performance, dishing out his very popular beats such as Ada Ada and Baby Oku
and wriggling his waist to the delight of his fans. Quite
significantly, Wizkid and Flavour came with their live bands which
boosted their performances and excited the audience even more,” they
added in a statement.
Soul singer and guitarist, Bez, was said to have performed his popular track, That Stupid Song, and others while Burna Boy also excited the audience with Checks and Balances, and Run my Race.
Complementing the artistes’ performance was popular disc jockey, DJ
Xgee, who played popular dancehall tunes from his turntable.
While Okey Bakassi, the compere, made
jokes, newly-signed Glo ambassadors, Chiwetalu Agu and Patience Ozokwor —
Mama G — were special guests at the event.
“Agu and Ozokwor described Globacom as a
world-class brand, which has demonstrated commitment to the empowerment
of Nigerians, with its products and services. The trio of Nemibo
Alababa, Kelvin Orere and Joyce Akinrinmade emerged winners of the dance
competitions and carted home several Glo branded prizes.
