This event marks Osupa’s first live performance at the Ogba Ikeja axis. Therefore, it promises an evening of undiluted fun and musical excellence for his fans.
The Carpenters Lounge and Restaurant, one of the hippest venues in Ikeja, Lagos, has a storied history of hosting top-tier artists. Past performances have featured luminaries like Sir Shina Peters, Pasuma, 9ice, Tolu Obey, SB Live, Alayo Melody Singer, Atorise, Dele Taiwo, Wale Thompson, and Femi Trinity. This upcoming event, however, is set to be one of the biggest yet, according to sources close to both the artist and the lounge’s management.
In the past, the happening place has featured juju legend Shina Peters, whose performances were characterized by silky, smooth music that captivates and gladdens hearts. Therefore, the upcoming even will set the stage on fire with Osupa’s electrifying beats, ensuring an evening filled with music and passion.
To the uninitiated in the magic of Fuji, Osupa started his professional music career as a teenager and has an impressive discography of 40-plus studio albums, including notable works like “Fuji Fa Disco” and “Fuji Blues.” In 2008, Ayinde Barrister declared Osupa the “King of Fuji Music,” a title that demonstrates his profound influence on the genre. Osupa retains this title even now despite his fusion of Fuji and hip-hop with albums like “Non-Stop” and hip hop singles such as “Vanakula” and “African Beauty.”
Ultimately, this event at The Carpenters Lounge promises to be a historic celebration of Fuji music in its most authentic form. Fans of Osupa and lovers of Fuji music are in for a night of undiluted fun, rich cultural rhythms, and an unforgettable musical experience.
