It was the third in the series of the Harp lager beer sponsored comedy/music concerts, Rhythm Unplugged and the venue was the Presidential Hotels, Port-Harcourt, Rivers State.
With lined up of great artiste that include Wande Coal, Flavour, Sound Sultan, Kay Cee of the KC Presh fame, Duncan Mighty AY, Gordons, W4 and I Go Dye, the people in the city had great fun.
Sound Sultan set the ball rolling with the delivery of the hit song Orobo, the crowd screamed and whistled when Flavour took the audience on a merry go round, performing different hits from his repertoire. From Na’bania through Nwa Baby and finally anchored the night with his famous hit song Oyi.
Home boy, Duncan Mighty, who stormed the venue surrounded by his aides went about the show in business manner. He delivered in his usual Port Harcourt swag.
Wande Coal was also a hit as he reeled out track after track and got ladies in the crowd swooning and screaming. Many believed it was a good show and worth the price.
In spite of the fear of the Boko Haram extremists, the first Harp sponsored Rhythm Unplugged was held last year in Abuja and it was a resounding success. That spurred the Cecil Hammond-led Flytime Entertainment, organisers of the show, to unleash on the Lagos audience, the best of A-list musicians and comedians in December at the Eko Hotel and Suites, Victoria Island. It held two separate editions for music and comedy with internationally acclaimed comedians like Ndumiso and Loyiso Gol from South Africa to spice up the night of comedy.
