The concert is being organised by The Jadeite Group, an international organisation that specialises in creating platforms for the hosting of upscale entertainment events, as part of a grand ball marking its formal launch in Nigeria.
In a meeting with journalists in Lagos on Tuesday, one of the organisers of the concert, Idowu Thompson, said the event was also aimed at celebrating the 50th anniversary of KSA’s music career and the musical heritage of Nigeria.
“This will be a landmark celebration of KSA’s 50 years of performing on stage. This is an exclusive opportunity for music fans to see the famous musician himself dish out the best of his hit songs produced from the 1970s to the 1990s,” he said.
To add a touch of glamour to the event, which is scheduled to take place at the Shell Hall Mason Centre in Lagos, the hosts have decided to invite Jackson and her band to perform on the same day.
“Millie Jackson is another musician who has made an impact on the global entertainment scene over time. She was known and celebrated as the queen of soul music between the 1960s and 1970s in America and here in Nigeria. She was last in Lagos for a ground breaking musical performance sometime in the 1960s. We are glad that she will be visiting Nigeria again for the concert in November,” says Edi Lawani , who will be in charge of the production of the concert.
Lawani adds that the choice of Jackson arises from the need to offer the guests at the forthcoming concert rare kind of treat that they have never experienced before.
Tagged ‘KSA through the years’, the concert is the first among a series of events planned by The Jadeite Group in its quest to introduce the luxury brand of entertainment in the country and to improve the quality of live musical concerts.
