In a resounding celebration of Fuji music, bringing together almost 7000 fans in Muri Okunola Park for a night of spectacular live performances, cultural pride and an unmistakable reminder of Fuji music’s essence as one large, united family; the fifth edition of Fuji Vibrations, held last week in collaboration with the Fuji Musician Association of Nigeria. Fuji music, like any family, is full of passion and diverse personalities, but its unbreakable bond always prevails. This year’s event epitomised that spirit, bringing together Fuji’s best artists as well as newcomers to celebrate the genre’s rich history.
The night included an electrifying lineup of 12 artists: K1 De Ultimate, Shina Akani, Saheed Osupa, Abass Obesere, KS1 Malaika, Igwe Remi Aluko, Sulaimon Atawewe, SK Sensation, Lokoso Ajani, viral sensation Fatima Cinderella, Iyalode Fuji and Sikiru Lemon Fuji. DJ Kulet’s high-energy set provided a fresh and dynamic take on Fuji music’s everlasting appeal. Clad in the event’s signature print, guests turned the venue into a vibrant sea of colours and patterns as the event became a melting pot of music, fashion and culture as attendees danced and sang till daybreak.
The presentation of a Special Recognition Award to K1 De Ultimate, recognising his enormous contributions to Fuji music was a highlight of the occasion. His performance was nothing short of magnificent, establishing his status as a living legend while also reminding everyone about the genre’s beginnings and evolution. Goldberg Lager Beer, Imperial Black Whisky, and UAC Foods helped make this year’s event a success.
Founder, Fuji: A Opera, Bobo Omotayo, commented on the event’s success, saying, “Fuji Vibrations isn’t simply a concert, it’s a family reunion. Fuji music has always been about community, even in times of differences. This platform exists to honour our shared ancestry, reminding us that, despite our differences, we are stronger together.
For five years in a row, Fuji: A Opera has brought fans closer to the heart of this amazing genre.” As the fifth edition concludes with overwhelming success, Fuji Vibrations is the beating core of fuji music, a genre whose vivid energy and familial bond continue to resonate across generations..
