Leading telecommunications company, Globacom has unveiled plans for the second edition of its special music concert, “Glo Evergreen series” which is dedicated to honour legendary Nigerian musicians for their outstanding performances and contributions to the development and growth of the nation’s music industry.

According to a statement released by Globacom, the second edition of Glo Evergreen Series is dedicated to King Sunny Ade, the music maestro and legendary composer for his consistency in the past 50 years and contribution to the juju music genre.

It is our modest way of saying thank you to them for their massive support”, said Globacom in a statement released on the event.
