Lagos — World famous reggae act, Majek Fashek is expected to headline this year's edition of Ikeja Allstars slated for Saturday, 13th of December 2008 at the New Afrika Shrine, Agindingbi, Ikeja.
Ikeja Allstars is an annual event organized by 411 Entertainment for Inside Ikeja Newspaper, as anniversary celebration for the first authoritative community newspaper, circulated free within Ikeja, which is now three years old.
Majek Fashek who just returned from the United States of America (USA) after many years of leaving the country is one of Nigeria's music legends still alive. The popularity of his music transcends the Africa continent and he has performed in major shows and concerts around the world.
According to the organizer, Akpojotor Gbemre, "the idea of featuring Majek Fashek in this year's event is to celebrate the highly talented singer at a time he needed to reach out to Nigerians most and make the world feel his music once again, since he is the only living legendary music artiste in the whole of African Continent still alive; having lost the likes Fela Kuti, Orlando Owoh, Sunny Okosun, Miriam Makeba and Lucky Dube to death, and this is what Ikeja Allstars stands for".
