Lagos Jazz Series Returns This Weekend With Stellar Line Up

 FUNSHO AROGUNDADE

Lagos will experience the ultimate in alfresco style music as the seventh edition of the annual Lagos Jazz Series holds on Friday and Saturday 25 and 26 November with a stellar line up.

This year’s edition will be taking place at two venues; Muri Okunola Park on Friday 25 November and The Moorhouse Sofitel Hotel Ikoyi on Saturday 26 November.

Announcing the line-up, Oti Bazunu, convener of the Lagos Jazz Series said Lagos is in for something amazing this time around as the Jazz Series happens again.

According to Bazunu, old time music lovers who are familiar with Hamish Stuart from The Average White Band are in for a treat and then there is British soul legend Omar who will be bringing his unique soul music to Lagos.

The organisers also listed other acts as Cape Verdean bands, Lito Coolio and Lizenda Da Cruz whose blend of Morna music infused with reggae is fresh and amazingly different.

They will be bringing alive the spirit of Cape Verdean diva, Cesaria Evora.

Maka is a fast rising Naija chanteuse with a fresh approach and flavour as she takes charge on the key board.

Other acts on the line-up include the Lagos Jazz Series Quintet and a host of others.

The organisers assured that guests will be treated not just to good music but to Catuma, a special bubbly wine making its Lagos debut.
