Glo Evergreen Series Concert To Honour Ebenezer Obey In Lagos

A Nigerian Telecommunications company, Globacom will honours those who have made a mark in the music industry.

It is going to be a night of glitz, glamour, camaraderie, good music, reminiscences and celebration of the true value of the music legends.

The honour comes in the form of a special music concert designed by Globacom to, according to its management, show appreciation "for their indelible contributions to the rich repertoire of the nation's music for decades".

The concert, tagged Glo Evergreen Series, takes off with juju maestro, Commander Ebenezer Obey, in Lagos on September 28.

According to the management of the company, the series will be the biggest ever celebration of Nigeria's music legends.

"In the history of Nigerian music industry, no corporate organisation has ever honoured Nigeria's music legends the way we have packaged the Glo Evergreen Series," Globacom said in a statement in Lagos on Thursday.

The statement revealed that the series will be staged in different parts of the country in conjunction with brands like Nigerian Breweries and Arik Airline and will, in addition to showcasing the best songs of the legends, take the people down the memory lane through a specially packaged documentary on the legends.

The shows will also be a blend of classic and contemporary music as the current generation of top Nigerian musicians such as MI and Yemi Sax will join Commander Obey in the first edition to perform some of his evergreen tunes.

The Glo Evergreen Series will hold quarterly and each edition will feature an outstanding music legend and other highly-rated reigning musicians.

The first edition comes up at Intercontinental Hotels in Lagos on the 28th of September, 2013.
