Multiple Grammy-award winner Chaka Khan and Benin-born singer/Grammy winner Angelique Kidjo both hit the stage in Lagos last night (October 12, 2013) as they performed some of their chart topping hits to a VIP audience

Titled ‘Love Music Love Life Luxury Concert’, the event was put together by retro-themed radio station Smooth FM 98.1. The concert which was held at Eko Hotel and Suites saw live band performances from the two music stars, who took the guests through the night dishing out some of their greatest hits.

Anchored by Smooth FM’s OAP The Genie, the three-hour show also saw performances from soul singer/pianist Kaline Akinkugbe, who thrilled the audience with her voice and the keyboard.

Angelique Kidjo brought her fire to the stage, performing timeless hits like ‘Wombolobo’ and ‘Agolo’. So did Chaka Khan with ‘I’m every woman’ and more.

The high point of the concert was when both singers hit the stage together to round off the evening, performing Chaka Khan’s 1983 smash hit song ‘Ain’t Nobody’.

The turnout was impressive putting into cognizance the minimum gate fee of N25,000.

Chaka Khan had arrived Nigeria for the concert Friday, October 11. Kidjo got in a day earlier.
