Family, friends, musical artists and legends, as well as admirers, have gathered in Lagos in a colourful celebration of the 90th birthday of Pa Benson Idonije, the grandfather of Grammy-winning superstar Burna Boy.
The red carpet shimmered with elegance as guests arrived in style, but beyond the glitz and glamour is a deeper story — one that connects generations of African music greatness, from the era of Afrobeat legend Fela Anikulapo-Kuti to the global dominance of Burna Boy.
Pa Idonije, a respected music critic, former broadcaster and former manager of Fela, occupies a unique place in Nigeria’s cultural history.
Here are photos from the event as it unfolds:
