Award-winning musician, Lanre Fasasi,
popularly known as Sound Sultan has unveiled details of his
star-studded Broadway-styled musical tagged Jungle Story.
The live stage show, which features
many of Nigeria’s most prominent actors and muscians, also marks
the 18th year of the singer, songwriter cum actor who became a public
sensation after he made a debut with the popular song, Mathematics
(Jagbajantis).
‘Jungle Story’ is scheduled to hold
October 12 to 14th at Terra Kulture, Tiamiyu Savage, Victoria Island
with the weekend events showing twice, 3pm and 6pm respectively. It
is produced by his Naija Ninja productions in collaboration with
creative talent agency, Temple Management Company.
Sound Sultan is pulling all stops by
forcing legendary actor of the ‘Storyland’ fame, Jimi Sholanke
out of ‘retirement’ to play his traditional role as Narrator’
in the drama-packed stage production. Also teaming up with the
musician is his long-time collaborator, Segun Adefila and his drama
troupe.

Nouah, Bovi, Lasisi Elenu, MC Lively, Broda Shaggi, Segun Adefila,
Fals, Okey Bakassi, Olamide and Baba Dee among others.
On his inspiration for Jungle Story,
Sound Sultan said, “art as they say is the imitation of life and
that’s exactly what the Jungle Story is about. It’s still the
same story of the poor getting poorer and rich getting richer. I am
trying to use my music and art to influence the society in a very
creative way that will hold the audience spell bound.
