World
famous reggae act, Majek Fashek is expected to headline this year's
edition of Ikeja Allstars slated for Saturday, 13th of December 2008 at
the New Afrika Shrine, Agindingbi, Ikeja.
Ikeja
Allstars is an annual event organized by 411 Entertainment for Inside
Ikeja Newspaper, as anniversary celebration for the first authoritative
community newspaper, circulated free within Ikeja, which is now three
years old.
Majek Fashek who just returned from the United
States of America (USA) after many years of leaving the country is one
of Nigeria's music legends still alive. The popularity of his music
transcends the Africa continent and he has performed in major shows and
concerts around the world.
According to the
organizer, Akpojotor Gbemre, "the idea of featuring Majek Fashek in
this year's event is to celebrate the highly talented singer at a time
he needed to reach out to Nigerians most and make the world feel his
music once again, since he is the only living legendary music artiste
in the whole of African Continent still alive; having lost the likes
Fela Kuti, Orlando Owoh, Sunny Okosun, Miriam Makeba and Lucky Dube to
death, and this is what Ikeja Allstars stands for".
