Also on hand to thrill audiences was a surprise performance by the Limpopo master himself, Kcee, who performed ‘Turn by Turn’, ‘Ogaranya’ and ‘Limpopo’, he was later joined on stage by Emma Nyra.
According to Matthew Ohio, Founder of Industry Nite, “The goal has always been to promote Nigerian music beyond our shores. So this year we partnered a number of organisations to see that we achieve this. We have successfully hosted a number of artists on our tours thereby creating a cultural exchange that has helped African music get mainstream attention. And we intend to host more artists and visit other continents as the months roll by”, he said.
