The first edition of Ekobeats is set to take place on Tuesday, April 27, 2021, at the Victoria Hall, Ebonylife Place, Victoria Island, Lagos.
This music show which is organised to celebrate Afrobeats in Nigeria, will give some up and coming stars the opportunity to sing in an open mic session.
Ekobeats is being organised by the Lagos State Ministry of Tourism, Arts and Culture in conjunction with EbonyLife Place and Trace Naija.
The Ekobeats program is the third of twelve events in the Eko Tourism Art and Culture Series organized by the Lagos State Ministry of Tourism, Arts & Culture and Ebonylife Place, in conjunction with other leading organisations promoting Nigerian culture and the arts.
The Hon. Commissioner of Tourism, Arts & Culture, Mrs Uzamat Akinbile-Yusuf, said the event would 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.”
The event will be hosted by Sensei Uche.
