Nice Performance, I am proud of our Nigerian brother.
A bit dissapointed his debut in front of a live international audience was shared with another African artist, but I suppose someting is better than nothing.
Also, Gongo Aso is not known internationally amongst non Nigerians and so it would have been ideal to stick to the original version of the track rather than the step down live band version he sang, I felt it diluted the songs appeal to an extent.
In the Fela days, he had influence on how he was perceived, particularly on stage, this must have contributed to Fela the legend and Afro beat King.
The Ghana girl presenter even pronounced his name wrong, a bit dissapointed with her considering she is Ghanian with a lot of Naija friends.
