King Sunny Ade will be leading top performers like Omawumi, Bez, Johnny Drille, Ric Hassani and Wole Oni for this year’s Make Music Lagos on June 21, in celebration of World Music Day.
The free celebration of music around the world was launched in 1982 in France as the Fête de la Musique and it is now held on the same day in more than 700 cities in 120 countries.
In 2016, Showgear teamed up with Nigerian brands and performing artistes to put Lagos on the world stage by organising the first edition of Make Music Lagos, which spanned three venues with over 35 performances, and over 3000 people in attendance.
For the 2017 edition, the organisers of the Make Music Lagos have put in place 10 venues for the concert with over 200 performances expected.
Partnering with Showgear to produce Make Music Lagos 2017 are Reveal Audio & Acoustics, Darliza Makeovers, IPC Events, Live & Studio, The Bayo Omisore, The Audio Age Company, Alien Nation & Vivace Records.
The Coordinator, Adeola Akinyemi, said, “We are back with another edition of Make Music Lagos because we are passionate about music. We seek to promote music and music education in Lagos and the rest of Nigeria.
“Lagos is a city rich in diverse musical culture, and Make Music Lagos offers a platform to showcase these cultures. So, get ready to celebrate and be part of the largest free music movement in Nigeria,” Akinyemi.
