Finally 10 pop groups of the Nigerian 70s, namely Sweet Breeze, Wings, One World, Apostles, Funkees, Semi-Colon, Aktion, Foundars 15, Dan Ian & Wrinkar Experience and Soki Ohale – will perform live in Awka on Easter night April 16, 2017at Ekwueme Square. This will be the first time these groups will be performing together in one Show in over 40 years! Governor Obiano does unusually beautiful things and is making a big statement with this Show: It takes a leader with a fertile sense of history to recognize that these Popstars played a big role in the Igbo recovery process post-war. They sold creativity in the form of music of profound lyrics, style and instrumentation that helped in consoling and psychologically lifting the Igbo spirit through the process of re-integration in the new Nigerian commerce and life.Their music messages were at least 50 years futuristic and therefore holds deep appeal across generations. No leader of Igbo extraction has ever thought to look in this blue corner of the entire ocean of the Igbo life since the end of war. And so with his passionate ground men (count me in together with Bob-Manuel Udokwu, Ikem Okolue, Ernest Adimnweruka, Chido Obidiegwu and Uzu Okagbue) an aptly titled ‘The Resurrection Show’ is conceived and packaged by the Anambra State Ministry of Diaspora Affairs, Culture & Tourism for Easter.
The musicians last week had a World Press Conference at Havila Suites Awka. And a courtesy call and photo opportunity (see photo) with the Governor at the Lodge in Amawbia. Radio jingles are on twice every day in 5 radio stations in Anambra, two in Enugu, Abia, Imo and one in Delta States. Billboards (see photo) are springing up at key access points and tickets are at the hallways in the Shoprite Malls in Onitsha, Enugu, Owerri and Asaba; El Dorado in Aba and Roban Stores.
The 70s familiar sig-tune of the music of Little Eva will usher in ace voices of Chuzi Iboko and Ngozi Ibegbu on stage as star-anchors for this Night of Nostalgia.
