Even as Lagosians have become more cautious of handshakes
and hugs in the days after the Ebola virus disease began claiming lives in the
city, many citizens still gather in public to have fun and enjoy live music.
For the patrons and followers of the monthly live music
Afropolitan Vibes at Freedom Park, Friday August 15 would not be forgotten too quickly.
When veteran rapper Weird MC took to the stage to perform
her legendary hit songs Allen Avenue
and Ijoya, all they could do was applaud
as she shared fist bumps all around with the audience.
“Forget Ebola,” she said, ‘make we chop knuckle” as she
greeted the fans before getting them in the groove and making sure they
understood that she still “own[ed] the dance.”
While we danced, it was easy to forget about all the bad
news and just revel in the moment. After all, the spirit of Lagos
cannot be cowed by any “gaddem”
disease.
Other performers on the night were Show Dem Camp, Isedale and founder of the Afropolitan Vibes, Ade Bantu and crew.
Next base jare.
