On Saturday 8 August, the bustling city of Sapele, Delta State, recorded a record breaking attendance for a Star Music Trek concert as the city played host to the second round of the phase 2 of the 2015 Trek. The Sapele stadium, venue of the gig, recorded a capacity crowd of more than 11,000 eager fans.
As early as 8pm, the crowd was charged up and ready for a night of premium entertainment and they were not disappointed. First came a number of warm-up performances from the local Sapele talents who got the chance to thrill the mammoth crowd as part of Star’s commitment to giving young Nigerians a platform to shine.
The evening kicked off in earnest when Black Magic hit the stage with his characteristic energetic style, performing hits like Rainbow, Repete and Pass You By. Up next was Runtown fresh from his bare-chested antics in Makurdi. The crowd came to life as he performed Gallardo, Successful, The Latest, Bend Down Pause and the crowd favourite The Banger.
Versatile rap star Mr Raw came next on stage. He quickened the pace of the evening and delighted the crowd with his onstage antics. Clearly in a playful mood, his theatrics while performing Obodo endeared him to the lively Sapele crowd. Without warning he further increased the pace of the evening and got the crowd going wild when he performed Gyration. Apparently, this particular song is popular in Sapele and they could not contain themselves. Other songs performed by the Abia State-born rapper include, I’m In Love With An Angel, Spiritual Konji and his latest track Blow my trumpet with Fanzy Papaya.
