His music evoked memories of the 80s, same for his energetic dance which left many wondering how he was
able to maintain such vigour over the years, but the Afro Juju creator, Shina Peters, has a ready-made answer –
he can never be too old for the genre of music he originated.
He declared this at the much publicised Love Rendezvous event, hosted by Lagos Airport Hotel, to celebrate this year’s valentine season.
Ostensibly, responding to informal questions from the
audience and especially, from a popular Nollywood actor who was also the MC of the night, Yomi Fash-Lanso,
Shina Peters said his age can never stop him from the way he played the music several years ago.
“My age has nothing to do with the way I dance, it is in me, I can never stop doing it. I may be getting old by age
but I am still young at heart. Afro Juju is what I initiated; it comprises high tempo music with rigorous dancing
step and that is the way I will continue to dance it my age notwithstanding” he said.
As the veteran musician rendered some of the crowd’s
favourite songs from the albums he released in his heydays, fun seekers, mostly couples, continued to ask
for more.
It was indeed a night to remember as other musicians, including ‘This year’ crooner, Jaywon and popular female
act, Onos, also added verve to the event.
The event also included a comedy dinner with GbengaAdeyinka which was another spectacular experience.
Speaking at the event, General Manager of the hotel, KayodeBakare, said that apart from the fact that the event was packaged by the hotel to reinforce its overall
brand promise of providing its clients with hospitality with grand attention; it also stood out to promote
celebration of love in a very exclusively mature and exquisite atmosphere.
“Bringing Sir Shina Peters and other notable musicians to celebrate love together in this cozy manner is another
way of telling our numerous clients that we cherish their relationships,” said Bakare.
