Fans were immersed in waves of nostalgia and raw emotion as Cynthia Morgan, 9ice, Sir Shina Peters and other artistes took to the stage at the Rewind Flashback Concert, a night dedicated to celebrating Nigeria’s musical legacy.
Organised by veteran disc jockey DJ Jimmy Jatt in collaboration with Yaw Naija, the concert lived up to its theme, “The Legends Are Back,” reuniting audiences with the sounds and artistes that shaped different eras of Nigerian music.
One of the evening’s most emotional highlights was the return of Cynthia Morgan to a major concert stage. Largely absent from the mainstream spotlight in recent years, the singer received a thunderous welcome as fans sang along to her popular records. Her appearance sparked loud cheers across the venue, with many attendees visibly moved to see her perform live again.
9ice also electrified the crowd with a set packed with timeless hits that once dominated radio airwaves and street playlists nationwide. The audience responded enthusiastically, waving phones in the air and chorusing lyrics that have remained deeply ingrained in Nigeria’s musical consciousness.
Veteran musician Sir Shina Peters brought a classic flavour to the night, delivering performances of his iconic songs that helped shape contemporary Nigerian music. His set drew sustained applause, underscoring his lasting influence and cross-generational appeal.
Beyond the established stars, the organisers created space for rising talents, giving upcoming artistes such as Neo Phlames and Tiwye, among others, the opportunity to share the stage with industry legends. Their inclusion added a refreshing balance to the concert, blending old-school nostalgia with youthful energy and highlighting the continuity of Nigeria’s music evolution.
Throughout the event, DJ Jimmy Jatt anchored the night with carefully curated throwback records, seamlessly connecting live performances with classic tracks that kept the audience engaged from start to finish.
Many attendees described the Rewind Flashback Concert as more than just a music show, calling it a celebration of shared memories and a powerful reminder of how far the Nigerian music industry has come.
