MAALI: Day 2.. New World Nigeria Showcase

Saturday, 28 July 2012

The second day of the show included performances by Wiz Boy, Waje, Tiwa Savage, M.I and King Sunny Ade. Before that night, I had little knowledge of Wiz Boy and Linda had none whatsoever, but he managed to get us on his fan team. Linda is now officially a major Wiz Boy fan. We sat with Zel ( Mrs. Chocolate City) and it was so funny and amazing how she knew the lyrics to all the Wiz Boy songs (which were Ibo and highlife-ish).

Linda and I loved every bit of it...watch this space for a post on him soon. Next was the talented Waje. I knew she could sing but I did not know that she could SING (live performances always prove if an artist can truly sing). She sang and we all got goosebumps...waiting for her album and her signing to an awesome record label (wink). Tiwa Savage joined Waje on stage as they sang a song to those they lost in the plane crash. Then Waje left and Tiwa performed her hits while dancing to 'The Azonto' (Slow Motion).

M.I was up next with an entertaining performance...(at this point me and most of the crowd got up). Highlight of the night was when he brought a fan on stage and he and Waje performed One naira to her..after which he gave her his watch. Finally, King Sunny Ade and his entire band came on stage and put out an entertaining performance. I was in awe of the back up singers/dancers..(I had to take a pic with my favorite whom reminds me of my Uncle Lawi..) Also, Wizboy and Weird Mc performed with the band and then KSA came back on stage to end the night.
