It kicked off with classic songs from his mixtapes like, ‘Dance All’, ‘Noble Vibes’ and ‘Success Story’ and many more to his recent releases such as ‘My Prayer’ and ‘Level Up’.
You can’t deny his energy and talent as he brought life into the room. Everyone was up and dancing and vibing to his classic hits.
His unique sound is combined with traditional African rhythms and contemporary instruments that is both recognizable and fresh.
Many artists have been inspired, influenced and emulated by Santana’s distinctive sound. In addition, he has surely made his mark and profound impact on the Afrobeat movement. His commitment and love for music is reflected on every note he plays which has won him a devoted and loyal following.
The night was a success. Enish was packed and he had people (men and women) out of their seats dancing and jamming to his hits. Idowu Santana and his special guest gave an outstanding performance. I would definitely recommend to anyone to attend his show, the energy he brings is top notch. Idowu Santana's name will definitely remain prominent in the African music industry for many years to come.
