London is abuzz! Don't worry it's not about the Olympics anymore, though the Paralympics is upcoming gearing to start on August 29, 2012. The buzz in town before the London Paralympics is about the various music concerts set for August 27, 2012. On that date the HMV Apollo would play host to D banj Live, in a show tagged D'Banj & Superstar friends. The show would be hosted by Abrantee and the superstar friends are Big Sean?, the self-styled Omo Baba Olowo himself-Davido, May7ven and Vibe Squad, and maybe, just maybe Kanye West might just show face. Tickets are selling from between 20 Pounds to 500 Pounds, the 500 Pounds ticket allows you to meet and greet the star(s) and also the 20 ticket holders get free VIP after-party invites. Show is billed to start from 7PM.
On that same date, bank holiday Monday, August 27, 2012 in London also, is another concert tagged Africa Unplugged, already billed as the biggest African music festival in Europe. On their bill are the likes of Grammy nominated artiste-Femi Anikulapo Kuti, 2 Face Idibia, Fally Ipupa, Sarkodie, Zahara, Barnaba Boy, Flavour, Cabo Snoop, Chameleon, Madtraxx, Winky D, Dj Arafat, Iyanya, R2Bees, Zakes Bantwini, Dj Edu, Mic Inity and many others. It's like a coalition of African superstars all set to perform that night. The show would be happening at the Wembley Arena and planned to start by 6PM.
Mind you all, the Notting Hill Carnival 2012 is also on for that day, though billed for much earlier. The Nigerian Corner would have the likes of Sir Shina Peters, Olamide, Buchi, Munachi Abii, Wale Gates and so many more performing, from 12PM till about 7PM. So it's a potpourri of choice to pick from, though the Notting Hill Carnival stands on its own. So between the D'Banj & Superstar friends and the Africa Unplugged, which would you rather go to? We don't particularly understand why the organizers of both shows chose to hold the concerts on the same date. Each would have been packed full, on different dates.
