Known as a strong advocate of the National
Youth Service Corps (NYSC) scheme with a strong belief that
youth empowerment is key to the development of the society, Gidi Culture
Festival has not relented in creating an opportunity for the Nigerian youth to
discover their talents.
At the Road to Gidi Culture Festival, which
kicked off with a free at the National Youth Service Corps (NYSC) camp in Lagos
November last year, upcoming artistes including Nedu, Flowsick, Blink, Tesh
Carter and Sammy exhibited their talents.
"The Gidi Culture festival is all
about empowering the youth as well as ensuring that entertainment is affordable
and accessible to the youth" said Chin Okeke, Founder of Eclipse Live.
He further said that provided unknown
artistes such as Uchman an opportunity to showcase their music to the crowd of
over 3000, as well as sharing a stage with up and coming acts such as Nedu,
Flowsick, Blink, Tesh Carter and Sammy.
“We
are looking forward to organising a similar concert after the success that we
had last year. It is important that we carry on engaging with the youth through
the power of music and reminding them of their responsibilities to their
communities and the society as a whole,” Okeke added.
The Gidi Culture Festival is scheduled to
take place in March, with a line-up which boasts some of Nigeria's hottest
young musical acts.
