Earlier, up and coming artistes entertained the crowd with scintillating performances directed by resourceful MC Bash complemented by melodious tunes mixed by DJ Tops. Ola Flow won the rap battle while Tunde Olorioko and Teju Adeyemi won smartphones in the dance competition for male and female categories respectively.
Lady drummer, Ayanfola, and her 15-man ensemble serenaded the audience with delightful tunes from the talking drum (gangan). She meandered from folklore Ijebu songs to contemporary tracks, compelling the audience to bring out their phone cameras to record the unique performance.
Lil’ Kesh revved up the musical show with sundry popular tunes enthusiastically chorused by the lively crowd of attendees who came to round off their Ileya festivities with sublime fun. His performance was a master class as he engaged the audience intermittently and indulged the people with his rich repertoire of songs including ‘Shoki’ and ‘Able God’.

Fuji musician, Abass Akande Obesere, and his beautiful dancers closed the musical show with a big bang. He spent considerable time to remind the crowd that Glo is the best network as he dished out melodious and ‘funkified’ songs that sent the crowd into a frenzy.
Dressed in a combo of green and white to show his affinity for the Nigerian national colours and Globacom, Obesere and his Glo-branded band members, sent the crowd into an ecstasy of musical pleasure.
The attendees commended Globacom for the well-choreographed musical show, adding that the event capped the eventful and bubbly 2019 Ileya festival celebrations for them.
