In what many have described as the best ever assemble of reggae musicians in the history of the Nigerian music scene, AY Gardens, the Ogba located entertainment spot, comes alive today as friends of troubled musician, Majek Fashek, rally support for his proposed return to the United States of America.
Leading the pack is returnee America based Ras Kimono, Black O’ Rice (a former band mate of the man popularly known as the Rainmaker), Oritz Wiliki, Amos Macroy Jegg (another former mate of Majek), Righteousman and King Wadada. Others include Rhymzo, Princess Amira and several other unlisted reggae musicians.
The show, put together by US Production, in conjunction with AY Hotels, and AY Gardens, is expected to help raise funds for the Osun State born musician who has been in the country for sometime.
Speaking to a select audience of entertainment writers during the week, Black O’Rice, a former band mate of
Majek (during their Jahstix era) said, “We decided to come to the rescue of our brother, Majek, who has been signed on by his international manager to honour, amongst other shows, the Reggae on the River concert, which is one of the biggest music concerts in the world.
The manager had expressed concern over what he described as Majek’s unstable health condition. But we want to use this concert to assure Majek’s fans that the man the world has come to know as the Rainmaker is alright and ready to explode. The Reggae on the River concert is expected to hold in California in July.
Apart from the concert taking place today, the Edo State government has also expressed its support for Majek and has promised to do everything within its power to ensure that Majek returns to honour his concert dates in the United States”, Rice added.
