Root n Raw 2

 As I walked in, the first thing that jumped at me was the stage back drop. The material used looked like shredded cloth, almost like patches of cotton wool but it had a mix of bright colours, red, blue, white, yellow, orange...the light had some effects that might have made me see colours that were not there maybe, hahahahaaha. Someone welcomed us all at 7:20pm and the show started.

Atta Lennel started on the piano, he played a soft, soothing tune,

My impression on Root N Raw

Event flyer

Root N Raw was born out of the fact that many say Abuja is a soulless city. There are many talented people in Abuja who decided to get together to showcase some of their talents. This was the first of its kind, hopefully the initiative will continue and possibly it will be done once every month in the future.

Doors opened at 6:00pm but the show was meant to start at 6:30pm, then end at 8.00pm. I arrived at 6:45pm and the show started around 6:50pm. The atmosphere was relaxed and there was an African touch to the venue, the props worked well. We were lucky that the rain held back so the weather was good too. Not hot, it was just right. It was meant to be a small event so it had an intimate feel to it.
