As the countdown to 2013 Glo-CAF Awards begins, top artistes from different parts of the world have been lined up to light up the Awards night holding in Lagos, Nigeria, on January 9, 2014.
Prominent on the list is the masked artiste from Nigeria, Lagbaja, who is expected to keep the night alive with his Afro-Calypso genre of music, a product of various influences ranging from traditional Yoruba music to Jazz.
The masked one is expected to enliven the hall with his scintillating dance steps and rhythmic saxophone.
P-Square, the identical twin brothers, will also entertain the crowd at the event.
P-square’s music is Afro centric.
It combines western and African rhythms in creating a marvelous blend of R&B, Hip Hop and Dancehall songs.
Their songs cut across various age genders and geographical boundaries, making them one of the most popular and sought after artistes in Africa.
Since the release of the Get Squared and Game Over album, they have performed in several major concerts all around the world.
Also billed to perform at the event is singing sensation and Glo Ambassador in Benin Republic, Zeynab, who, as usual will thrill the audience with her unique style.
South African singer, Lira, who set the benchmark with her 2006 album, Feel Good – and with her late 2008 release, Soul in Mind, will also thrill the audience.
In the last two years, Lira has grown in stature, most especially as a songwriter and intuitive performer, turning the young girl who showed the first glimpses of her gift more than five years ago into a woman with a world class talent.
Also billed to perform is D’ banj, the Nigerian singer, songwriter, harmonica master and a charismatic stage performer with boundless energy.
D’Banj is moving from height to greater height everyday and has been glorified as the poster boy of Nigerian music.
The beginning of his achievement recognition came when he won the Most Promising Male Artiste at the KORA AWARDS, 2005.
The Koko Master is an infectious performer that can hold his audience captive for as long as he wants.
He will surely add colour to the night.
Others are Sherifa, who has been described by many as a crowd shaker, puller and a real performer when it comes to traditional zest.
Sherifa Gunu will always leave an impression in the minds of anyone who comes into contact with her.
Born into a royal family of Dagbon, in the Northern part of Ghana, Sherifa started her dancing and music career at a very tender age and she likes to refer to her music as Africana music.
