Reminisce, Dammy Krane, Jaywon and Zeez dazzle @ Unilorin

A wave of excitement swept through the University of Ilorin on Friday, November 14, 2014, as the Coke Studio Season 2 campus concert brought all other activities on the campus to a halt, with stunning performances from chart- topping Nigerian artistes, Reminisce, Dammy Krane, Jaywon and Zeez.

Thousands of students defied the blazing sun to pose for selfies beside the double-decker Coke Studio bus, and enjoy hit after hit performed live by the A-list music stars.

Brand Manager, Coca-Cola Nigeria Limited, Olufemi Ashipa, who also doubles as the Project Manager, Coke Studio Concerts, expressed delight at the success of the Ilorin outing, which was the eighth Coke Studio Campus Concert of Coke Studio Season 2.

“I am really impressed by the participation and enthusiasm of the students. Ilorin is renowned for its great musical tradition so we decided to give aspiring artistes from the University this opportunity to perform on stage with some of Nigeria’s best. This has totally exceeded our expectations,” he commented.

In the spirit of the Coke Studio Concerts, the show at Unilorin commenced with a competition to select two upcoming artistes from the institution to perform with Dammy Krane and Reminisce.

400 level Library Science student, Ayeesha, came tops in the first round, trumping three other students to perform with the Enterkraner Dammy Krane; while Whalez, a 400 level student of Microbiology got a chance to wow the crowdwith Reminisce.

The crowd went wild as Zeez opened the innings, with Ori E and Bobby E, reminding them of the irresistible beats of his hits. Jaywon kept the tempo up with This Year, Angelina and Tana Wole before Dammy Krane hit the stage with My Dear, Ligali, Sabi Dance and Amin. The excitement peaked when Alaga Ibile, Reminisce, came on stage to perform Kako bi Chicken, Too Mussh and Quality, drawing the curtain on the show with mega hit Daddy.

The Coke Studio Campus Concert was conceived as an extension of the televised Coke Studio Africa show which brings together artistes from all over the continent to create a new and authentically African sound from different genres and styles of music.

It has toured eight major campuses in Nigeria including Lagos State Polytechnic, University of Benin, Abia State University, University of Lagos, Obafemi Awolowo University, the University of Port Harcourt and CRUTECH with many of Nigeria’s biggest music artistes.
