Английская Википедия:EniObanke Music Festival
The EniObanke Music Festival (EMUfest) is a modest, multi-city festival of music which holds annually in Nigeria. It was established in 2010[1] by folk and roots musician, Beautiful Nubia (Dr. Segun Akinlolu) and primarily designed as a platform for the discovery of new and emerging talent and the celebration of established names.[2] While the main focus of the festival is music - mainly traditional folk, contemporary folk, folk-fusion, and folk-derived pop - it has also featured poetry, dance, drama and the visual arts.[3]
A typical EMUfest[4] includes a Talent Night featuring new artists, a football game with musicians and fans, free music classes, and concerts.[5] Since 2010, over 300 individuals, choirs and bands have played at EMUfest, including Chris Ajilo, Orlando Julius Ekemode, Jimi Solanke, Yinka Davies, and Lagbaja.[6]
EMUfest is the longest-running recurring music event organised by any musician in Nigeria in recent years.[7]
