The 17th edition of “The Experience”, Nigeria’s biggest annual gospel music event and stage has taken place in Lagos, Nigeria. The event was held live and in-person in Lagos, Nigeria after a two-year hiatus during which it was organized as a virtual and hybrid due to covid 19 related restrictions.
In line with its tradition, the concert featured an ensemble of top-notch, award-winning indigenous and international artists. The rooster included heavyweights like Travis Greene, Sinach, Phil Thompson, Chandler Moore, Dunsin Oyekan, Eben, Moses Bliss, and many more.
As expected the all-night music event was fully packed and there was no dull moment as attendees were treated to one glorious moment after another as the respective artists took to the stage from dusk till dawn.
A highlight of the event was the 1 minute of silence that was observed in honor of veteran Gospel artiste Sammy Okposo who recently passed on to glory.
Commenting on the event which over the years has helped to promote collaborations between global and Nigerian artistes, Nigerian artiste Eben said “Look at the opportunities given the home-based musicians and artistes to collaborate and meet with international artistes. it is already a huge mileage and we are excited about that,”.
Also speaking at the event, the Co-convener of the experience and senior pastor at the House on the rock, Ifeanyi Adefarasin said the concert helps to promote peace in the country by bringing people of different faiths together.
Although the event was held in one night, there is no doubt that the effects will be felt for many days to come.
