O’jez Entertainment and Evergreen Musical Company have announced the return of Elders’ Forum, the once popular monthly highlife music show that was also used as a medium to recognise and honour individuals who have distinguished themselves in arts and entertainment.
The first edition of the reinvigorated Elders’ Forum comes up on Sunday, February 26, at O’jez celebrity restaurant inside the National Stadium, Lagos.
It will feature Liberian superstar, Miatta Fahnbulleh, Nigeria’s acclaimed folklorist, playwright and actor, Jimi Solanke.
The Elders’ Forum, according to Chief Joseph Odobeatu, chief executive officer of O’jez Entertainment Group, was rested for about three years to enable it come back in a different shape and style.
“We had to go back to the drawing board and work out a way to make the every last Sunday of the month event that rocked Lagos for almost 15 years look fresher and better.
“So, O’jez went into a partnership with Evergreen Musical Company to make this happen. What you will witness on Sunday is a sharp departure from the past editions because we will strive to reinvent ourselves,” Odobeatu said.
Fahnbulleh has been rehearsing with Jimi Solanke as both of them will be on stage for the Sunday event.
