For fans of Don Jazzy and his Mavins, this is an exciting time,
as the record company has partnered Access Bank for a live
music concert in Lagos this Xmas tagged Access Mavin
Concert. The gig will parade the entire Mavin Records lineup
on one stage for several hours of performances. From Dr. Sid
to Tiwa Savage, Korede Bello, Di’ja, Reekado Banks, D’Prince,
Don Jazzy… it’s going to be an interesting evening.
Billed for Wednesday, December 23, at
the Eko Atlantic, with tickets pegged
N499 per person, this will be the first
time the record company would be
staging a live music concert since it’s
three years of existence as a leading
music house in the country. For Don
Jazzy and his ‘gang’, it’s an opportunity
to say ‘thank you’ to fans, who have
supported the brand over the years.
Speaking at a press conference held
recently in Lagos to herald the
concert, Mavins boss Don Jazzy stated
that the Access Mavin Concert is a
special ‘Thank You’ event in
recognition of the support from their
fans, who will only have to pay a
fraction of typical gate fees to get in.
“We are very excited to be able to put
this together this year after three
years of steady progress as individuals
and as a label. Despite many odds, we
have been able to get to this point and
do so many unprecedented things in
the Nigerian music industry. I am
particularly pleased that Access Bank
wants to share in this success story and
contribute to it and I am sure that the
fans will love what we have in store for
them on the night.”
Though a Mavin Record’s gig, there
are indications that a few other
notable Nigerian artiste are likely
coming on stage.
“For now, it’s all about Mavins, but at
the right time, we will confirm other
artistes on the bill. Of course, some of
our friends in the industry are
interested in performing that day, but
that’s information for another day,”
Don Jazzy said.
Giving his own thoughts on the event,
Mavin Records artiste Dr. Sid said
recently, “Our fans have always been
here for us through thick and thin.
Without them, there will be no Mavin
Record Label or Don Jazzy or Dr. Sid.
What could be a better way to
appreciate their loyalty over the years
than this?”
For Tiwa Savage, “I can’t wait to thrill
my fans at the concert and appreciate
them for all their goodwill messages
during my sojourn to motherhood. It’s
going to be exciting performing on
stage with my label colleagues and I
just can’t wait.”
