This December, the iconic on-air personality, Yaw, will join forces with legendary Cool DJ Jimmy Jatt to present a night of nostalgia and music.

The Rewind ‘A Flashback’ Concert is set to take place on Monday, December 30th, 2024, at Eko Hotel & Suites, Victoria Island, Lagos.

The star-studded concert would bring together some of Nigeria’s biggest music legends, including TuBaba, Daddy Showkey, 9ice, Style Plus, Duncan Mighty, Tony Tetuila, African China, Jazzman Olofin, and many more. The event promises to take the audience on a journey through the golden era of Afrobeat, celebrating the artists and sounds that defined Nigerian music.

In a remarkable turn of events, this concert also marks the return of Cool DJ Jimmy Jatt to the stage after a period of recuperation.

In 2021, the renowned DJ underwent a life-saving kidney transplant in Lagos, Nigeria, and spent time in the United States focusing on his health. His survival story has inspired many, as Jimmy Jatt became the second Nigerian celebrity to publicly share his battle with kidney disease. The Disc Jockey who began his career in 1984 would also seize the opportunity to celebrate 40years in the entertainment world. 

Reflecting on his health journey, Jimmy Jatt shared in a documentary shot at the medical facility where he was treated, “I want to be a face of the survival of kidney disease. I did not want to be a victim. I have been through it, and from now on, I will be very open to talking to people about it on any platform to let them know what it is like.”

According to Steve Onu (Yaw), “the Rewind ‘A Flashback’ Concert is more than just a musical event—it’s a celebration of resilience, survival, and the evolution of Afrobeat music.” Jimmy Jatt, Yaw and other incredible artists, are ready to bring Lagos a night to remember! 

As the producer of ‘Rewind…A Flashback Concert’ Yaw brings a wealth of experience and a stellar reputation to the event. Steve Onu has produced high-profiled events such as Funnybone Live, Chupez Concert, Davido Live in Asaba, KCee’s Thanksgiving, Headies Award Atlanta (co-produced) and much more.
