Shuga Band, a Lagos-based 14 piece
group, led by Shuga (Akinloye Tofowomo) is ready to roll out the
drums as it celebrates her 20 years of undiluted live music
performances in Nigeria.
The Band, which was established about
20 years ago after Shuga's exit from Pintus, an upscale bar in the
highbrow Allen Avenue, Ikeja, back in the days, remains one of the
best bands that had maintained a high standard of live music
performances.Best known for her up-tempo secular flair, swing-beat,
RnB , dance tunes, oldies, country, traditional, soulful arrangements
among others, Shuga band is not only rated as one of Nigeria’s
number one functioning bands, but also as a group committed to the
highest standard of excellence and professionalism.
According to Akinloye Tofowomo, “This
year, the Shuga Band will be celebrating 20 years of professional and
undiluted live music in Nigeria. It will be an all-year celebration
and we sure can't wait to dish out activities we have lined out for
you.”
A widely travelled band, the band has
featured in many high profile events such as ECOWAS Heads of States
Dinner, Mike Adenuga’s daughter’s wedding among others. It
consists of young and talented musicians who see music more as a
passion than a trade. They bridge the gap between the young and the
old at parties, rendering legendary old school tunes and blending
them with African flavours. It is expected, 2018 will be a bumper
year for the group.
