The D- Day is almost here!
And as fans and music lovers gear up for the event that has been tagged “The Jazz show of the year”, the organizers have confirmed the full set of acts (from three countries: Nigeria, South Africa and England) getting set to perform at the second edition of Sax Appeal.
The event that first debuted in 2009 is bringing on board singer Tosin Martins and South African Jazz singer Judith Sephuma to bond with Nigerian singer Bez, South African based Nigerian Guitarist Kunle Ayo, UK based double MOBO winner Yolanda Brown.
And as many are still not certain about what more to expect, Mike Aremu assures that “It is going to be worth your while” swiftly adding that “Last year, when we closed the show, a lot of people didn’t want to go home, you should expect that this year also. We’re leaving no stones unturned to make sure our guests get the ultimate Sax experience”
He continues, “We have a lot of surprise package, trust me, anyone can perform at the event, and when I say anyone, I mean anyone, so you just have to keep your fingers crossed”
The second edition of Sax Appeal will hold at the Shell Hall of MUSON centre in Lagos on Saturday, July 24, 2010
Several high profile artistes performed at the first edition of the show in July 2009 including, Tosin Martins, Cobhams Asuquo, MI, Yolanda Brown (from the UK ) and The Vision band led by Mike Aremu himself.
Aremu started singing at the age of eight learning various musical instruments and has since gone ahead to become a leading saxophonist who has performed at the prestigious 02 Arena in London. He has won two AMEN awards for Best Instrumental Album and Best Gospel Music Video.
