UK-based Nigerian
musicians, Lekan Babalola and Ayinke Martins will be joined by their
home-based counterparts, Herbert Kunle Ajayi, Mike Osadolor, Imole
Africa and Pure & Simple for this year’s MUSON Jazz Festival on
November 6.

The jazz festival
is one of the main attractions of the annual MUSON Festival which
started on October 25. Previous editions of the festival have featured
Grammy award winning American guitarist, Earl Klugh performing with
Lagbaja; South Africa’s Hugh Masekela and guitarist Jimmy Dludlu; as
well as Jonathan Butler and Al Jarreau from the US, among others.

Organisers say the
contribution of the artists to the development of Jazz and live music
was a factor in their selection to feature in the highly rated concert.

Chair, festival planning committee of the event, J.K. Randle, said concert-goers can expect much from the festival.

“This year is
different and special as we celebrate Nigeria’s Golden Jubilee
Anniversary and what better way to do this than have a line-up of our
own artists both the ones based at home and those on the international
scene?”

This year’s MUSON Festival is themed ‘Nigeria at Fifty’ to celebrate
the country’s golden jubilee. It is on for two days; November 6 and 7.
