DOUBLE K SHINES @ FELABRATION
New music act, Double K put up a scintillating performance last week in Lagos at the Felabration music concert, one of Africa’s biggest musical events.

On the experience at the event, Kunle of the group enthused: “It was great, a golden opportunity for us because Fela is a legend in the music world not just in Africa but internationally. So being able to perform on the stage with other great African artistes to celebrate his life, is an experience we will cherish for a long time!”
The duo of Kunle and Kola who make up Double K, will soon embark on a promotional tour of Europe to promote their new single Kumanatale’ which has been enjoying massive airplay in Lagos and other parts of the country.
