The Rewind ‘A Flashback’ Concert is scheduled for Monday, December 30th, 2024, at Eko Hotel & Suites, located in Victoria Island, Lagos.
This star-studded event will feature some of Nigeria’s most celebrated music icons, including TuBaba, Daddy Showkey, 9ice, Style Plus, Duncan Mighty, Tony Tetuila, African China, Jazzman Olofin, and many others. Attendees can expect a captivating journey through the golden age of Afrobeat, honoring the artists and sounds that have shaped Nigerian music.
Notably, this concert also signifies the return of Cool DJ Jimmy Jatt to the stage following a period of recovery.
In 2021, the esteemed DJ underwent a life-saving kidney transplant in Lagos and spent time in the United States focusing on his health. His inspiring survival story has resonated with many, as he became the second Nigerian celebrity to openly discuss his struggle with kidney disease. Having begun his career in 1984, Jimmy Jatt will also take this opportunity to celebrate 40 years in the entertainment industry.
Reflecting on his health journey, Jimmy Jatt expressed in a documentary filmed at the medical facility where he received treatment, “I want to be a face of the survival of kidney disease. I did not want to be a victim. I have been through it, and from now on, I will be very open to talking to people about it on any platform to let them know what it is like.”
Steve Onu, also known as Yaw, emphasizes that the Rewind ‘A Flashback’ Concert transcends a typical musical gathering; it embodies a tribute to resilience, survival, and the progression of Afrobeat music. Alongside Jimmy Jatt and a lineup of exceptional artists, Yaw is set to deliver an unforgettable evening in Lagos.
As the producer of ‘Rewind…A Flashback Concert,’ Yaw brings extensive experience and a distinguished reputation to the occasion. He has been behind numerous high-profile events, including Funnybone Live, Chupez Concert, Davido Live in Asaba, KCee’s Thanksgiving, and co-producing the Headies Award in Atlanta, among others.
