Major Lazer, the American electronic dance music group, comprising Diplo, Jillionaire, and Walshy Fire, was in Nigeria as part of a broader Africa tour which had taken them to South Africa, Malawi, Kenya and Uganda.
Following performances by leading Nigerian disc-jockeys, United States Consul General F. John Bray delivered brief remarks to hundreds of excited music lovers.
“Tonight, we are all here for Major Lazer. Music is the weapon; peace is the mission. As the 2019 general election draws closer, I encourage you all to commit to a non-violent and peaceful democratic process,” Consul General Bray, who was accompanied on stage by leading Nigerian artistes Sound Sultan and Korede Bello, remarked just before Major Lazer began their performance.

Major Lazer’s visit to Nigeria underscores the strong U.S.-Nigeria cultural and people-to-people ties. The electronic dance music group recently dropped three singles featuring three popular Nigerian acts – Tied Up featuring Mr Eazi; Loyal featuring Kizz Daniel and All My Life featuring Burna Boy.
