Asa, Lizha James, R2Bees, Others To Rock The SMVAs!

Lizha James is one of the biggest musicians in Lusophone Africa

It’s this Saturday – and the producers of Soundcity Music Video Awards (SMVA) have confirmed the crème of the crop for performances at the third edition of the honours event holding in Lagos, Nigeria, on November 20.
Guests are in for a night of premium performances and top-notch entertainment, as bestsellers and hitmakers from all around the continent have been chosen to light the stage at the awards ceremony proper; taking place on Saturday, 20^th November 2010 at the New Expo Hall, Eko Hotel, Lagos.
‘All the big names will make an appearance on the night’, says Executive producer Tajuddeen Adepetu. ‘Rapper MI and the Choc boys, Mo hits crew, Psquare, 9ice with Alapomeji, Banky W, Storm all stars, Timaya with Dem mama soldiers, Asa, Dama Do Bling (Mozambique), Lizha James (Mozambique), Deep level (South Africa), R2Bees (Ghana) and Toniks (Uganda)’.
It will be the most lavish and high-energy sets the awards have ever seen – especially with big fishes Asa and Lizha James signing up. Many will also expect to see Psquare, who have shunned all awards in recent times, break their own rule and hit the SMVA stage this weekend.
The third edition of SMVA is scheduled to hold on Saturday November 20 at the Expo Hall of Eko Hotel in Lagos, Nigeria.
Unlike previous years, the producers have expanded the categories to accommodate artistes from all over the continent – showing that, with the success of their cable channel Soundcity Premium, they are now ready to make the SMVA a continental event in the league of the MAMAs, KORA, and Channel O awards.
And Big Brother Millionaire Uti Nwachukwu, who was only weeks ago voted winner of the BBA All Stars edition, has been penciled to host this year’s event.
