Following a sold-out debut, Nigerian-Canadian composer King Udofia returns with the second edition of Gbèdu presented with the National Music Centre.
His 21-piece orchestra takes the Studio Bell stage for an immersive evening of horn-driven grooves, heavy percussion, and lush orchestral strings. Audiences are invited to sing, clap, and dance, as they experience a contemporary celebration of African music and culture.
