Washington DC pays tribute to Nigerian Novelist, Critic and Political Activist, Chinua Achebe at the Mellon Auditorium. We were a last minute addition to the festivities, and are grateful to have had the opportunity to be a part of such a special way to celebrate Professor Achebe's life with his family, peers, friends and dignitaries from around the world. The event was hosted by Johnetta Cole, former President of Spelman & Bennet Colleges.
"An evocative Arts exhibition featuring Obiora Udechukwu and other artists, as well as a reception began the celebrations. While the background Afro-beat music of Eme and Heteru electrified the audience. Other musical and dance acts of the evening for Achebe's celebration were the riveting Igbo masquerade dancers, such as "Oja (Ojii) Onu" "Aga ba Masquerade, and "Ijele Masquerade, who performed to honor the dead, a person they believed lived in "immortal state" in spiritual world.

TRILOGY, like the rest of your tracks, cuts cleanly and crisply through the genre clutter with a groove that slices directly to the heart with honest power. This is music with teeth, heart, soul and big brass balls.
