Some of the biggest contemporary Nigerian musicians and comedians will perform on December 18 in honour of the late former South African President, Nelson Mandela.
The event entitled, “The Legacy Lives… A Tribute Concert”, will showcase lead Nigerian artistes such as Dbanj, 2Face, Darey, Burna Boy, Ikechukwu, Eldee the Don and Zaina.
Others are Mo Easy, Engager, Chioma, DJ Babus, Timi Dakolo, Waje, Julius Agwu, Mike Aremu, J. Martins, Niyola, Omawunmi, Tiwa Savage and Rocksteady.
The commemorative event which will hold at the Oceanview Restaurant, Victoria Island, is being organised by Mo’ Abudu, Chief Executive Officer of a private entertainment television station, EbonyLife.
In a statement made available to the News Agency of Nigeria on Tuesday in Lagos, Abudu said she was proud to be initiating the event.
“It is one of the least things we can do as Nigerians, Africans and global black citizens of the world to honour a unique, caring and very humble global character.
“Nelson Rolihlahla Mandela lives on as a beacon of hope, a true icon of inspiration and a man of extraordinary vision.
“Mandela left a great legacy of humanity that Africans and the rest of the world must strive to aspire to.
“We are indeed very proud to put this together. It is a free concert for the expensive price of liberty paid for by the selfless Madiba,” Abudu said.
