Misofunyi Entertainment in partnership with Stingomania Records will host ‘The Dagrin Memorial Carnival’ on April 21 at National Stadium in Lagos. Speaking about the forthcoming event, Ope Banwo the chief executive officer of Stingomania Entertainment said “a Dagrin anniversary, particularly the first one, cannot be complete without his colleagues gathering together to salute him in the language he understands best, which is music. A carnival like this also gives his contemporaries a platform to express themselves on an annual basis.
We are therefore happy to be working with Dagrin’s father on this project with KSB helping us with her experience as a seasoned concert organizer.” With performances from musicians like Naeto C, KSB, DJ Zeez, Jaywon, YQ, Goldie, Edreez Abdulkareem, Sheyman, General Pype, Baba Nee, Kas, Flavour and Obesere PK1st, the carnival will include an awards session for the Best Dagrin Look-alike, Best Dagrin Tribute Song, Best Dagrin Collabo Song and Best Dagrin Collabo Video, Best Yoruba Rap, Best English Rap Artiste, Best Upcoming Hip-Hop Artiste and Best Upcoming Entertainer of the Year.
Banwo also revealed that “the proceeds from the concert will be applied to the Ghetto Dreamz Foundation for Young Entertainers” which he is organising while the rest will go to Dagrin’s estate for the welfare of the parents and siblings. “It is a charity project that I am very proud to be associated with”, Banwo said. In a related development Dagrin’s biopic ‘Ghetto Dreamz’ starring Trybson Dudukoko as Dagrin, Doris Simeon, Pa Kasumu, Rachael Oniga, and Gabriel Afolayan will be premiered on Friday April 22, 2011.
