Flavour thrills fans at his sold out “Ijele in London” show.
One of Nigeria’s finest musicians, Flavour has done immensely well to create an idiosyncratic niche for himself, building a huge audience both home and abroad. Earlier in May, he announced that he would be going on an European tour across Netherlands, Finland and London. It was however the London concert, which was announced to have sold out, that caught fans’ appeal the most both online and offline. With a culture-ignited performance and guest artistes like Nigeria’s greatest rapper, MI, fans were taken on a journey through culture, music and history.
