TIMI DAKOLO’S GREAT NATION VIDEO DROPS!

 

 

“IT’S A WATERSHED MOMENT”, HE SAYS!

The eagerly anticipated video to Timi Dakolo’s awe-inspiring classic, Great Nation is out – officially and exclusively on- www.youtube.com/timidakolo The song widely considered as one of the most inspiring African- produced pieces of all time has repeatedly left audiences spell bound after every performance. From the closing ceremony of the 2011 National Sports festival in Port Harcourt through the Future Awards (where the video was premiered) to the Headies and countless other events, Timi’s powerful rendition easily penetrates the hearts and inspires the minds of Nigerians of all generations, backgrounds and creed. Great Nation inspires a sense of patriotism in uncommon proportions and offers something to believe in, a great reason to be proud of one’s “Nigerianess” and a belief that indeed, greatness is within our grasp.

Released by Lone Records/ Now Muzik and directed by the multi-award winning Clarence Peters, the video will hit TV platforms by the end of the week.

Timi expressed his happiness with the release of the video thus: “I am delighted that the Great Nation video has finally been delivered and the feedback so far has been wonderful. It was a very challenging exercise, believe me. The process of agreeing on the best treatment for the video to a song of this magnitude in terms of importance was rigourous. Everyone had a bright idea about how it should be visually interpreted but once we started the shoot, everything progressed fluidly. I’m particularly grateful to my friends – and firm believers in the Nigeria project who formed the cast, Clarence and his crew, Cobhams Asuquo, Joan Ekpai, Olaitan Dada and everybody that made this a success. This is indeed, a watershed moment!.” Timi is currently preparing for ‘The Evening’, a fund raising concert for people living with disabilities, scheduled for the 17th of November at Safari Park Hotel, Nairobi, Kenya.

TIMI DAKOLO REKINDLES HOPE WITH ‘GREAT NATION’; WOWS AUDIENCE AT HEADIES

The Headies 2012 might have come and gone like a flash but the wonderful memories linger on. One unforgettable moment surely was the performance of the patriotic single Great Nation  by the ever shining  Timi Dakolo whose beautiful wife was also present to experience firsthand his soulful vocals and lyrical depth .  

It felt like a performance in heaven transmitted via big screen to earth. Everyone present clearly understood the message, as the singer churned out each line of the hope-filled song, and as usual, Great Nation once more, like it did at the Future Awards a couple of months ago, steered believe and unwavering faith in a Country whose image has been dented by major heart-breaking events.

The soulful singer is currently preparing for ‘The Evening’, a fund raising concert for people living with disability which holds next month at Nairobi, Kenya.
