Meanwhile, the inaugural leg of this year’s Star Music Trek took place at the Municipal Garden in Calabar featured epic performances by some of the biggest names in Nigerian music such as Wande Coal, KCee, Burna Boy, Chidinma Black Magic, Oritse Femi and Cynthia Morgan.

The show then began with amazing local talents thrilling the crowd with music and the open roof arena could not contain the excitement. The local acts were given the stage as part of Star’s commitment to showing that everyone can shine no matter what.

Black Magic was the first to mount the stage and the crowd didn’t stop cheering as he performed hit songs like Rainbow, Repete, Africa and Pass you by featuring Oritsefemi.

His performance of ‘Pass You By’ brought Oritsefemi up on stage and the fans went ga-ga when he appeared. After performing ‘Pass You By’, Oritse Femi then took over the stage completely. The ‘Double Wahala’ hitmaker went back to his first hit ‘Mercies of the lord’, and became very emotional recounting on how much God has blessed him over the years. Quickly, he bounced up with ‘Redi’, ‘Sexy Lady’, and ‘Double Wahala’ to crown it all up leaving the crowd lit with excitement.

At about 12:30am, there came the petite singer Chidinma, whose birthday coincided with her performance. She summoned the crowd to sing her a birthday song, which they did, and this set the mood for her performance. The Kedike hitmaker performed hit songs Oh Baby, Kedike, Shoki Remix, Emi Ni Baller amongst others.

Shortly after, a DJ Battle ensued between Mavins Record DJ Big N & DJ Snoop Da Damaja, which shook the arena to its foundations. Following this battle was Burna Boy’s performance. The reggae dance hall artist delighted the crowd with hit songs such as Don Gorgon, Kush, Like To Party, Check & Balance, Gba Gbe amongst others.

The big surprise for the night was an appearance by ‘Limpopo’ hit maker, Kcee who surprisingly appeared on stage to the delight of the capacity crowd. Kcee performed hit songs such as Limpopo, Turn by Turn & Pull over. He further surprised a fan on stage with a whooping sum of N50, 000 after emerging winner of a mini dance competition organized by him on stage.

Following Kcee’s Performance was undisputed queen of Nigerian ragga/dancehall Cynthia Morgan. The energetic singer with her trademark red hair stormed the stage with her excitement visible, this being her debut on the Trek. She performed hit songs such as Shoki Rmx, Run Their Mouth, Don’t Break my heart, Lead Me On, German Juice and I’m Taken.

To put an end to all performances and bid Calabar a farewell was an exhilarating performance by Wande Coal who went far back to perform songs from his debut album ‘M2M’ including ‘You Bad’, ‘Bumper to Bumper’, ‘Taboo’, ‘Pere’ in addition to his newer songs including ‘The Kick’, ‘Baby Hello’ & ‘Wake Up’.
