Call it the mobile music train and you would have summed up the whole essence of Globacom’s recent music concert tagged Glo Slide N bounce.
One, it takes mobile phone users, particularly those on Glo network to
gain entrance to the concert. Two, the music train moves around the
length and breadth of the country to fish out young talents and also to
entertain, give more value to mobile subscribers whose average revenue
spending keep the network in business.
The beauty of the concert which has continued to distinguish the
indigenous network operator as torch bearers in the discovery of local
talents, is that every town the concert train berths many young talents
begin their journey to stardom. So many Nigerian music talents, dancers
and other acts build their careers climbing same stage with already
established ones and thereafter, the stage keeps getting up rather than
down for them.
So when the city of Egbeda in Alimosho area of Lagos metropolis
hosted the music train, last week, the residents confessed to additional
value to their investment on their mobile lines, when two music acts,
Afro hip hop king, Flavour and his upcoming rendition of his hit single,
One Parole got the crowd off their seats and it was standing ovation
for the 18 year old kid all through to the end of his performance..
Both the compere and the Disc Jokey publicly confirmed that the kid was
good and definitely has a space in the trail blazing music industry.
Thereafter, top acts like Ego Reekado Banks and Di’Ja lit up the atmosphere the more with their popular numbers.
However, the climax of the night was when poular act, Flavour mounted
the stage. The fans who had eernestly waited for his arrival began to
wave their Glo phones, which was their ticket, on the air.
The Afro hip hop crooner, electrified the show, that one of the participants who spoke to Vanguard, admitted that ” I just bought my Glo line few months back but I wish I had done that years before. This is wonderful”
