Attendees of the much talked about Asa Live In Lagos concert were treated to a night to remember on Sunday, 1st of May, 2016, at Eko Hotels and Suites, Victoria Island, Lagos State.
The international superstar got the audience cheering loudly throughout her spell binding two hour performance which began with a rendition of ‘Awe’. And, while the deafening response to her first song on the night seemed unreal, the excitement kept rising as she followed with vibrant performances of “Satan Be Gone”, “The One Who Never Comes”, “Fire On The Mountain”, “Bibanke” and much more.
Fans who couldn’t hide their satisfaction took to social media to express their satisfaction and sometimes shock, that a live show could be that excellent on Nigerian shores.

So @Asa_official gave Lagos magic yesterday. I knew she would. She’s magic. Now, Lagos, Nigeria, don’t look back, be more magic. ????

For the first half of #AsaLiveInLagos I kept exclaiming in sadness and my friend didn’t understand – cries of “when will Naija get here?”
