City of Port Harcourt stood still last week as the hip hop duo, Psquare ‘personally’ treated the fans to the best of entertainment at the opening ceremony of CARNIRIV 2013.
It was a night to remember. The adrenaline was at its peak. Expectations were high as the multi award-winning stars stormed the stage of the Liberation Stadium to the admiration of the thousands of fans that filled the 27,000 capacity stadium to its brim.
The event which was earlier declared open on the night by the Governor of Rivers State, Rotimi Amaechi had featured traditional dances tagged Dance of Fire Flies. The dancers, robed in their regalia showcased the rich in the culture of the oil-rich state while 10 bands which participated in the march past presented their flags to the King of the carrnival.
Those who sneaked their ways into the backstage and the few sitting close to the entrance crowded the star artistes’ convoy when it drove into the venue around 10:30 PM.
As envisaged, no sooner the MC announced the introduction of the ‘Alingo’ crooners to the stage than the crowd who had been in anticipation went wild upon sighting their favorite artists live.
In wild jubilation garnished with sheer excitement, the crowd jostled their way as close as possible to the stage to savour the performance of the stars — there was mild shoving and pushing but was curtailed.
It’s never a dull moment when Psquare perform. There is always so much to offer and to enjoy. They don’t just sing, they are truly wonderful performers.
Being stars with a lot of hit tracks, performing for hours was never boring, the fans couldn’t just have enough of these gifted duo who have done the country proud the world over.
Every track performed on the night sent the crowd yearning for more. Seeing them dancing ‘Alingo’ on stage after establishing their arrival with the performance of ‘Do me I do you’ along with their dance crew was a perfect condiment for utmost fun. The choreography was top notch, their creativity acumen was second to none.
They brought not only music on stage but drama, dance, and comedy.
To spice up the performance, Paul and Peter showed their fans they do not only sing but also play instruments. Peter showed class by dancing to Usher’s track ‘You remind me’. The band was perfect, they did justice to the beat.
Peter then challenged his twin brother to show his other talents outside singing and dancing. To the amazement of the fans, Paul grabbed a base guitar and played Tupac’s ‘Do for love’ tune with no flaw which wowed the crowd. Peter would not be bemused, he also played the guitar seamlessly.
The Okoye brothers performed most of their hit tracks from the old to the most recent.
Earlier, Buckwhile one of the reigning music artistes in the region had performed a couple of his popular tracks and his single billed to be released in 2014. Among upcoming artistes that staged their performances at the initial stage of the celebration were Queen Lush, Zuril and Young.
