DJ Jimmy Jatt and Yaw Naija TV are throwing a nostalgia concert called the Rewind Flashback at Lagos's Eko Hotel and Suites near the end of the year. The theme is about legends returning, focusing on artists who ruled the Nigerian airwaves in the late nineties and early two thousands. Big names like D'banj, 9ice, and the juju star Shina Peters are leading the lineup.
The rest of the bill is a deep cut of acts from that era, including African China, Dr Sid, Cynthia Morgan, Bigiano, the group Black Reverendz, Style Plus, and performers like J Martins, Zulezoo, and Danfo Driver. DJ Zeez, Inferno, Kas, Marvellous Benji, Ayangba, and Lexy Doo are also set to appear. Observers see this as part of a bigger trend where audiences crave legacy acts and familiar catalog music for live events. With Jimmy Jatt spinning, the show will likely hop across genres that defined the period, from hip hop and early Afrobeats to reggae, dancehall, and juju music, showcasing the sonic diversity from back then.
