Ekobeats is the third of twelve events organized by Eko Tourism Art and Culture Series curated by the Lagos State Ministry of Tourism, Arts & Culture and Ebonylife Place, in partnership with other leading organizations keen on promoting Nigerian arts and culture.
It was set-up to showcase some of the rising stars in the Lagos music industry.
The musical event is set to hold yesterday, Tuesday, April 27, 2021 at the Victoria Hall, Ebonylife Place, Victoria Island, Lagos.
The event was organized to give upcoming vocalists the opportunity to show-off their talent in an open-mic session.
Lagos State Ministry of Tourism, Arts and Culture in partnership with EbonyLife Place and Trace Naija made this event come alive.
Sensei Uche is the host while other entertainers like Avala, SGaWD, DJ SkoolBoi and several other Afrobeats artists are expected to give life to the event by performing on stage.
According to the Hon. Commissioner of Tourism, Arts and Culture, Mrs Uzamat Akinbile-Yusuf, she described the event as one organized to celebrate Afrobeats and the opportunities it has created for many especially in Lagos.
“Lagos State is the true home of Afrobeats, with its talented musicians and producers, and the record labels that have nurtured them. We have the biggest concerts and the loyal fans that have launched Nigeria’s greatest music stars onto the world stage,”
“EkoBeats is our celebration of this world-class music that has created economic opportunities and employment for our young people, and continues to create positive ways for them to realise their true potential” She said.
