Now in its fifth edition, the concert – to be hosted by Mike Aremu – will also feature Nigeria’s Praiz and Timi Dakolo.
The event will hold at the Convention Centre, Eko Hotel in June, on the 26th.
Sax Appeal is a concept of award-winning musician, Mike Aremu, geared towards the rebirth and promotion of the live music experience in Nigeria.
The event has been graced by leading Nigerian and foreign artists like the Grammy-winning American jazz saxophonist, Kenny G; British jazz urban contemporary saxophonist and two-time MOBO-winner, Yolanda Brown; Nigerian South Africa-based guitarist, Kunle Ayo, and South African jazz and Afro Pop singer, Judith Sephuma.

India Arie gained instant international recognition with the release of her debut album Acoustic Soul on March 27, 2001.
The album was promoted with the release of the lead single ‘Video’, which attained commercial success peaking at 47 on the US Billboard Hot 100 and becoming her highest charting song in the region to date.
