It will be recalled that on September 9, 2011, KOGA Entertainment, released five out of the 10 artistes who will be performing at the highly anticipated concert of the year come December 23 at TBS, Lagos. The five acts are African queen crooner, Tuface Idibia, rapper, MI, Afro juju creator, Sir Shina Peters, Paramount King of Fuji, Obesere and Trybesmen honcho, Eldee.
In a bid to engage the general public, KOGA Entertainment asked people to predict the remaining five artistes and win blackberry phones, mini laptops, TV sets and designer wears from Shakara Clothing. Thus, the race began, the competition ended last week Friday with no one getting the prediction right.
“The weeks of the predictions were the most exciting weeks at Bigsam Media. Some people came close with their predictions, some had depths, others were funny while some were completely way off mark. We thank the people for participating and hope they will win gifts in the competition that will still follow this campaign’’ the agency said..
However, KOGA Entertainment has revealed the identity of the five remaining artistes that will be performing alongside Tuface Idibia, Eldee, Sir Shina Peters, M.I and Obesere.
Emerging Afro beat legend, Femi Kuti, will be leading the new generation artistes which includes Port Harcourt’s first son, Duncan Mighty, youngster, Whizkid, female singer, Mocheddah and the Okoye twins, P-Square in the concert that has been tagged the concert of the people, by the people and for the people.
So, come December 23rd, at the expansive venue, Tafawa Balewa Square (TBS), Lagos, TOP 10 MICS concert will parade 10 leading lights in the Nigerian music industry namely Tuface, Femi Kuti, Eldee Tha Don, Sir Shina Peters, MI, Duncan Mighty, Mochedah, P-Square, Obesere and Whizkid.
In a concert that is
akin to an eclectic collection of different genres of music ranging from hip hop
to RnB, afro beat, juju, dancehall, pop, highlife and
others.
Koga Entertainment
is staging a concert that has something for everyone. It is a departure from
what is obtainable in concerts in Nigerian entertainment industry as most
concerts only carter for hip hop and youth market.
‘ We are doing Top10 MICS for many reasons, long before
now, some of us who are old enough still have memories of Lekki Sun Splash and
other concerts at open venues where people enjoyed themselves, feel safe and
look forward to the next edition. We are trying to recreate the memory of good
old days with the infusion of contemporary offerings. Aside this, we are also
trying to create a concert where everybody will have a sense of belonging. We
are tired of events where only hip hop audience would be catered for. We want an
event where fans of different genres of music could mix and experience the
thrill of live performances of leading lights in different genres.
