The event had a line-up of distinguished musical acts tagged ‘Maverick challengers’ – Femi Kuti, Seun Kuti, Simi, Adekunle Gold, and The Composers, all known to be trailblazers in the musical industry.
The event was off to a great start with Adekunle Gold performing some of his best songs, including Mr. Foolish, Pick Up, Ariwo ko, Money, Work, and so on. Adding a legendary African twist, he rendered songs like Big Shaq’s ‘Mans Not Hot’, ‘Feeling Good ‘by James Brown, and ‘Issa Goal ‘by Naira Marley.
