Johnnie Walker AfroExchange brought its celebration of African creativity to Supremacy Concert 10 on Saturday, October 3, as Tiwa Savage, Wande Coal, Kizz Daniel took the stage at Eko Convention Centre, Lagos. The tenth edition of the concert brought together music from different periods of Nigeria’s contemporary sound, giving the platform a fitting setting to explore how artists, influences and genres continue to meet and shape the culture.
Tiwa Savage performed Koroba, Lova Lova and more alongside female dancers, while Wande Coal appeared in an orange double-breasted suit and took the audience back with Pere, a nostalgic favourite from his early career, before performing Iskaba and other hits. Kizz Daniel brought a commanding stage presence and strong connection with the crowd, keeping the audience engaged as he moved through his catalogue of contemporary Afropop hits. Together, the performances reflected the different points at which these artists have become part of the Nigerian music conversation, from songs that have stayed with audiences over time to records that continue to define the present.
The Johnnie Walker AfroExchange experience extended beyond the music, with Johnnie Walker Black cocktails served throughout the night, with unique cocktail serves inspired by African culture. The AfroExchange photo wall and craft session, anchored by the brand’s bold gold Striding Man, also became a popular point of interaction and creative exchange for guests. These elements brought the wider idea of Johnnie Walker AfroExchange into the room, using music, drinks and visual culture to create a space that reflected the different influences shaping contemporary African culture.
Speaking on the partnership, Michele Mballa Mekongo , Customer Marketing Manager said, “Keep Walking speaks to the people who continue to find a way forward. That spirit is evident in African music, where every generation draws from what came before and finds new ways to express itself. The sound continues to evolve, but the influence of those who shaped it remains.”
“Supremacy 10 gave us an opportunity to celebrate that journey through Johnnie Walker AfroExchange. The artists featured at the concert reflected the exchange at the heart of Nigerian music, where different voices, experiences and sounds continue to influence one another,” she added.
The evening also drew a mix of entertainment and public figures, including Hon. Princess Lara Oyekan Olumegbon, while comedy legend AY was among the hosts. For Johnnie Walker AfroExchange, the night offered an opportunity to meet audiences where music, memory and culture intersect, recognising the artists and influences that continue to give Nigerian music its staying power.
