There probably
won’t be another concert like this for a long time - judging by the sweltering
crowd, high level of anticipation and powerful crowd responses that resonated
through out the star studded line up at the 8th leg of Star Music Trek which held at the
Abeokuta Sports Complex, Abeokuta, Ogun State on July 28, 2013.
The event
was compered by hilarious stand up comedian, Laff Up with a surprise appearance
by comedian, Gbenga Adeyinka who both ensured that there wasn't a dull moment through
out the night.
Juke Box, 2010
winners of Star Quest, was a delight to watch as they performed some of the
hits that won them the coveted 2010 Star Quest Crown. The melody makers are
fast becoming a crowd favorite, winning a hard earned place in their fans’ hearts.
After a
long break from The Trek -since the first leg in FESTAC on June 8 -Sound
Sultan came well prepared to get the crowd dancing first as he dished out many
of his popular hits accompanied by his live band.
For 45
minutes, cheered on by the appreciative crowd, Dr SID’s motley selection of
songs kept the crowd going, fuelling anticipation of even more thrilling
performances from other artistes during the concert.
Accompanied
briefly by fast rising rap artiste XBUSTA, Dr Sid’s fast paced act was another
crowd winner.
And if the
crowd was extra appreciative of the artiste perhaps it was because his fans
knew that they would have just one more chance to meet him on The Trek in 2013;
the multitalented act has confirmed that he will be performing at the Grand
Finale on August 10, 2013.
There’s no
doubt that fast rising rap star Olamide has an extremely promising future as he
stormed the stage to remind his fans why his popularity has waxed stronger ever
since releasing his debut album in 2011.
The young
artiste who is gradually carving a dominant niche for himself in the Nigerian
music industry gave the performance of a lifetime, with eager fans -who had
been waiting patiently for him- rushing from the every angle of the grounds and
surging toward the stage.
The rap
star could not have asked for a more loyal army as the crowd ensured they kept
him weaving back and forth on the center stage and down the ramp, churning out
verse after verse to the delight of his fans.
D’banj
proved the ultimate crowd pleaser, placing his set in the crowd’s hands and urging
them to ask for any song they wanted him to sing.
His aim, he
claimed, was to please, as he sang every song his fans requested, bringing back many fresh memories right from his Mo’hits days.
Popular
fuji crooner Obesere, utilized his 45 minutes with a dramatic performance of
some of his greatest songs. Accompanied by his gorgeously dressed dancers, the
artiste was a fitting crown to an exciting night.
The Star

10-city-10-week tour with thousands of
music fans entertained across the country.
