naptu2:The first few seconds of the video above was from Lekki Sunsplash. I have written a lot about Lekki Sun-splash on Nairaland. That series of concerts was instrumental to the growth of Nigerian reggae in the 1980s and early 1990s. I often went to the Bar Beach during holidays in the late 1970s and early 1980s, but sometime around 1984 there was a new beach that everybody was talking about. It was Lekki Beach. We missed our way the very first time we went there. There was almost no other cars on the road. You could see the water mirage at the point that the road met the horizon. There was bush on both sides of the road. We drove for an eternity until we came to the end of the road (they hadn't finished constructing Lekki Expressway at that time). We saw workmen and asked them where Lekki was. One of them asked us (in Yoruba) whether we were looking for the place that people "took breeze" or the place that they "ate beans". I understood that they were asking if we were looking for the beach or the prison. We said that we were searching for the beach and they told us that we had passed it. The road leading to the beach had not been constructed, so you had to carry your food warmers and coolers and walk a long way through the bush and over beach like sand before you got to the beach. It seemed like suffering. Anyway, sometime around 1986, Toyin Munis created a concert called Lekki Sunsplash. It was inspired by the Reggae Sunsplash concerts in Jamaica. The NTA often showed clips of Reggae Sunsplash back in the early 1980s. People from all over Lagos thronged the Lekki Beach in December 1986 to see some of the biggest musicians in Nigeria perform. However, Lekki was not developed back then and many of them had to walk all the way from Lekki Beach to Sandfill in order to get home. It was like Exodus, the movement of Jah people. It was at the 1993 edition of Lekki Sunsplash that I saw Lagbaja for the first time. Nobody knew who he was. Everybody was waiting for Fela to perform and this masked man took to the stage and was singing, "The way, the way, the way way". People were angry and they threw bottles at him. He had to flee from the stage. They brought ************ (I can't type his name because the spambot will ban me) back on stage to calm down the crowd. One of those gossip magazines got a list of Fela's conditions for performing at Lekki Sunsplash and it basically went viral. The conditions included a certain level of quality for the sound equipment, he and his band would be transported to the venue in the morning and they would be fed breakfast and lunch, he must be the last person to perform, he must be paid upfront, etc. The contract stipulated that he could decide not to perform if any of the conditions was breached. All the biggest reggae musicians, including almost everybody I listed on the first page, performed at Lekki Sunsplash. |

Brendaniel:Mr man, I don't want to call any truce. Say amen to my prayer without any alteration. Is there anything for you to fear? If there's nothing to fear, then it shouldn't be hard to say amen. It is very simple really. naptu2: |
