Lagos, February 1, 2013: Ladies and gentlemen,
Banky W is throwing another Lagos party. And this time, it’s for the
release of his hugely anticipated genre-defining, industry-shaking album
R&BW.
The singer, songwriter and businessman has spent the last few years
grooming protégées like Wizkid, Skales and Niyola; running the EME label-
currently unarguably Nigeria’s number one music powerhouse.
Now, W is all ready to present his new body of work to millions of fans
around the world. And he’s setting it off with an intimate concert this
Valentine.
EME has announced
plans for the R&BW: “The Grand Love” Concert, saying, in a statement
released this morning, that the concert will hold at The Civic Centre on Ozumba Mbadiwe in Victoria
Island, Lagos on Friday, February 15, 2013.
It’s just about two months after the massive Baddest Concert, featuring
Banky and his label mates. The singer says he’s ready again, to treat fans to
the kind of special performance they won’t get anywhere else.
And
he’s joined by some of R&B's biggest names, including Wande Coal, Darey, Tiwa
Savage, Bez, Blacky and Faze. Other star performers, according to EME,
include Lynxxx, Sound Sultan, Iyanya, Praiz, Omawumi, Waje, J Martins, May D, Chidinma and many more to be announced.
