Femi, who expanded the genre’s reach to embrace punk,
electro, and hip-hop elements, praised Fearless energy drink brand, produced by
Rite Foods, for taking Felabration to a greater height by making it bigger and
better.
He said the food and beverage company had done much to get
participants at Felabration refreshed with its brands comprising the Fearless
energy drink, made up of the Classic and Red Berry, the 12 Bigi carbonated soft
drink variants as well as its Rite sausages.
“l have to say thank you to the great brand, Fearless energy
drink, and Rite Foods, the producer, it has been very wonderful with the
massive support,” the London-born artiste stated.
The appreciation came moments before the commencement of the
musical show held at Fela’s Afrika Shrine, which saw artistes showcasing
exceptional musical talents, thrilling the audience with captivating
performances, with the atmosphere being charged as the concert continued into
the late hours of the night.
Fearless, the premium energy drink spiced up the event that
conjured up glitz and glamour with artistes such as Eda Oto and the Afrogenius
Band, 2Scarce, Badman Q, Jody, John Dust, Chuddy K, Oberz, 2Slimmusic, Jaido P,
Aramide, among others.
The show, which started with Edaoto and his band,
entertained the audience with a Yoruba song hammering on political change that
would encapsulate the various interests of the people for a better nation.
And with the dreadlocked Agbeniyi Edaoto, the band leader,
taking control of the stage, displaying what he is known for, the Afrobeat
singer in his song called for a futuristic leadership direction that would make
the country conducive for all.
It was an evening of fun, as 2Scarce, a reggae-dancehall
singer, captured the attention of spectators with his youthful exuberance while
Badman Q, a fast-rising Afrobeat musician, sang about the energy that could be
exerted for meaningful ventures.
Not left out was John Dust, another emerging star, an
Afro-pop singer who overwhelmed music lovers at the show.
Others also added colour to the event, which kept Lagos
agog, with fun-seekers trooping to the Afrika Shrine to catch a glimpse of the
evening excitement.
Speaking on the rationale for sponsoring the event, which is
part of Felabration, Rite Foods’ Brand Manager, Boluwatife Adedugbe, said the
Fearless energy brand threw its weight behind the music show as part of efforts
to enhance its commitment to the growth of the music and entertainment industry
in the country.
On Felabration, Adedugbe said the late Afrobeat legend is
worth celebrating, considering the message of hope and equality propagated
through his songs.
