The LaoluGbenjo Music Group dazzled all at the recent African Cultural festival, a show organized by the Lagos council of arts and culture.The gospel musical group was the toast of the day as those present dance to the tune of different gospel songs, with a blend of high life fuji, juju and new fascinating songs amidst shouts of admiration from the huge crowd.
The breathtaking moment was the period the drummer started using his drum to render songs that are well known and the audience sang along with him, this was a moment that held the audience spell bond with his beat couple with the different swag and style, he exhibited as he dances around with his drum kit, the audience could hardly take their eyes off him. Joining the flow, was the agogo, gangan, sakara, omele, agidigbo accompanied by the keyboard which was simply amazing and breath taking, as It throbs the very root of the African culture, spreading warmth and happiness.
