It was fun all the
way at Emerald Event Centre, Uyo on Thursday night as Globacom's premium musical show
Slide 'n' Bounce stormed the city.
Top musicians
like MI, Korede Bello, Sammie Okposo, PSquare and disc Jockey Jimmy
Jatt, were on parade and they lit up the stage with fireworks of phenomenal
performances which delighted thousands of Uyo residents all through the night.
The show kicked-off
with up and coming acts from Akwa Ibom State displaying their music and dancing
skills which the audience applauded. This was followed by the surprise
appearance of Okon Lagos who kept the crowd laughing
with rib-cracking jokes.
The main show took
off with D.J., Jimmy Jatt, delighting the crowd with a fusion of old and
new sounds from his juke box.
Gospel singer and Glo
Ambassador, Sammie Okposo was the next to entertain the crowd and he
brought a gospel twist to the stage, while the delighted audience
also responded to a medley of his vernacular and English songs
by dancing to the beats. But majority stood up and sang along with
him. Some members of the audience also participated in a
singing and dancing talent-hunt and those who participated in the contest
did remarkably well.
Next was Mavin Record
artiste, Korede Bello who got a standing ovation from the crowd as he
climbed the stage. He entertained the crowd with many of his hit
tracks but it was the rendition of “God win” song
that got the crowd dancing and singing.
African Rapper Number
One,
M.I Abaga came after Korede Bello. Typical of the number one rapper,
he took control of the stage and interacted directly with the fans who
also sang along with him, displaying rich knowledge of his compositions.
Next was Psquare and
the fans got more than what they bargained for. The twins held Uyo audience spellbound for over two
hours, moving smoothly from one track to the other and the people soaked
in every
moment of their performance. They delighted the crowd with a perfect
combination of Peter's magical dance steps and Paul's powerful vocal
strength.
As square rounds off
the show, Glo subscribers in Uyo requested that the Globacom should
return with another concert.
