*Awilo Logomba, Onyeka Onwenu, Sir Shina Peters, Darey, Tiwa Savage & More to Perform at “Sunny on Sunday” Concert*

Mavin Records’ Queen, Tiwa Savage is the latest addition to the roll
call of performers for the Sunny On Sunday concert commemorating
the 70th birthday ceremony of Juju music icon, King Sunny Ade .
She joins an already star-studded list of artists including the likes
of Awilo Logomba, Onyeka Onwenu, Sir Shina Peters, Darey,
Omawumi, DJ Jimmy Jatt, Iyanya, Jeff and Tyson Noir .
Similarly, Temple Management Company , who are the brains behind
the event, have also unveiled the Jenifa’s Diary duo of Funke
Akindele-Bello and Omotunde Adebowale David (Lolo1) to join Tee
A as hosts for the night.
The world-class concert holds this Sunday, December 11 at the
Temple Balmoral Marquee, Federal Palace Hotel, Victoria Island,
Lagos. It will be shown live by Multichoice Nigeria on DStv Channel
198 and GOtv Channel 29.
Speaking on her performance, Tiwa Savage enthused:
Personally, I have been looking forward to honouring
King Sunny Ade and when this chance came, I grabbed
it. Long before I dreamt of pursuing a music career,
King Sunny Ade has paved the way for us especially
on the international stage.
On a personal note, I still remember how he cancelled
other requests to perform at my wedding ceremony
and I will never forget his that rare act of
graciousness.
Another major highlight of the event will be the auction of one of
King Sunny Ade’s famous guitars masterfully painted by award-
winning artist, Victor Ehikhamenor .
According to Femi Salawu, Media Executive, Temple Management,
the masterpiece is a collector’s item and has been receiving
anonymous bids. The auction will be moderated by United Auction
House .
An ecstatic Ehikhamenor said:

When you are given the opportunity to add a line to
the history of a legend, you’d better ask God to take
your hand and guide your senses. I’ve loved King
Sunny Ade’s music for the longest time and his
rhythm is one of the best companion in my studio
when working.

It was a pleasure creating on this guitar for his 70th
birthday concert coming up this December. I just
heard him say on TV “I have many guitars, but this is
my favourite. I call it my baby.”
On a radio appearance, King Sunny Ade has promised his fans one
of the biggest gifts. “This is one of my biggest nights ever and I
promise to give my audience something to remember for a long time
to come.”
