Three soul-inspiring Nigerian singers have been billed to thrill music lovers at the biggest outdoor live music concert tagged ‘100% Live’ this February in Lagos.
The event, which is expected to feature Adekunle Gold, Simi and Praiz, will hold at the Muri Okunola Park in Victoria Island on the 18th of next month.
Addressing journalists in Lagos, the Project Co-ordinator of the concert, Adenike Odutola, said “Before recorded sound was invented, all music was live. Today, most people only listen to recorded music most of the time. Still, the experience of a live music performance cannot be compared with one cooked in a studio.”
“Too much tweaking can make for soulless, boring music, which is why we want to delight music fans by bringing them in direct contact with the artists in an unfettered, relaxed and unedited setting, enjoying and experiencing real music in all its untainted glory,” she added.
According to the organiser, Simi, Praiz and Adekunle Gold will be backed by a full complementary band while they perform all their hit songs as they bring their magic to the concert on an intimate evening of relaxed fun and great vibes.
“There will be plenty of food, drink and banter so revellers can soak up the tunes, sun and fun, indulging all their senses,” the coordinator added.
One of the performing artists at the concert, Simi, said: “We can all use a little break now and then to get away from our lives. 100% Live is not the conventional way of experiencing music and actually being in the presence of all that raw energy of a live performance can’t compare to anything. It is truly about the memories created, the fun, the new friends and beautiful experiences. I really can’t wait!”
Also speaking, Praiz said "this concert is unique and not the usual we’re used to in this part of the world. An awful lot of music is more a product of technicians and engineers than musicians and instruments, so this really is a breath of fresh air, literally. Real people, real food, real fun, and real music; it’s a 100% for me."
Famous ‘Orente’ crooner, Adekunle Gold, promised music fans “an experience to remember” on the concert day.
"As you may already know, I love live music performances. I love the thrill of connecting with my fans on a deeper level and I’m glad to be a part of the 100% Live concert. It’s unscripted and you just can be yourself. It’s definitely going to be an experience to remember," he said.
The organiser said the concert will be an evening of good music, endless vibes and dance in a festival-like atmosphere.
