Chaka Khan, Angelique Kidjo for Nigerian concert

American 10-time Grammy Award winner, Chaka Khan, and Grammy Award winner Benin Republic-born Angelique Kidjo will storm the stage today 12 October for the 4th annual Smooth FM ‘Love Music Love Life Luxury’ concert holding at the New Expo Centre of the Eko Hotel and Suites, Victoria Island, Lagos.

The super divas will be supported on stage by Nigeria’s Kaline Akinkugbe.

According to the organisers, in line with its aims, Smooth FM is increasingly recognised for delivering well organised, well-attended and entertaining concerts offering Nigerians a chance to experience world famous, legendary soul and jazz greats perform on Nigerian soil.

Angelique Kidjo waltzed into Lagos this morning, while Chaka Khan will breeze in from the United States on Saturday morning.

Last year, Smooth FM brought international legend and 10-time Grammy Award winning jazz guitarist, George Benson to Nigeria for the first time.

In 2011, saxophonist Pamela Williams, guitarist Jimmy Dludlu and Asa drove the crowd wild with their performances. In its first year, the concert had an impressive line up that included Angie Stone, Gerald Albright, Richard Bona and Mike Stein.
