Abuja, the nation's capital went agog last weekend with what observers said was musical earthquake as top music artistes who hitherto were drawn in a prolonged beef put their personal grouse behind and join in the celebration of music duo Zule Zoo who marked 20 years in the entertainment industry. 

The event was the special anniversary concert tagged the “Ultimate Thank You Party” to commemorate the group’s two-decade journey, which began in the early 2000s and was propelled into national prominence by their breakout hit, "Kerewa". 

The event brought together top-rated artistes, including 2Baba, Faze Alone and others to join the defunct Plantashun Boys to thrill guests. Also in attendance was a popular streamer, Kolu who added colour to the event. 

It was admixture of long memory, excitement and sober reflection, especially when guests rose to pay tribute to Michael Aboh, one half of the duo, who passed away in 2022. 

The surviving member, Al-Hassan Ibrahim, had pulled up the star-studded event as a mark of honour to his late partner. 

Zule Zoo’s two-decade anniversary celebration seen as a reunion of memories and a reaffirmation of their lasting imprint on Nigeria’s music scene did not end without the unique dance style they are known for, which involves rolling their waist.
