Nigerian Afro highlife star, Chinedu Okoli, better known as Flavour N’abania or simply Flavour, has given his fans a thrilling show at the historic Howard Theatre in Washington DC on Friday night.
The highlife star delighted fans with hit songs such as “Nwa Baby”, “Levels” and fans’ favourite, “Ada Ada”.
Flavour was joined onstage by Nigerian rapper Phyno, who left fans wanting more with songs like “High Way” and “Fada Fada.”
He brought Igbo culture to life in Washington DC with dancers and masquerades on a night to remember.
Flavour is continuing his impressive run with his North American tour “Level’d Up Tour 2022,” which began on July 15 in Houston, Texas with a spectacular All-White-Party.
The singer is scheduled to perform in a number of cities across the United States and Canada.
Friday’s performance follows his show in Chicago. Flavour headlined the 2022 Capital One City Parks Foundation’s SummerStage music festival in August.
Earlier in July, he made a stop in Omaha, Nebraska, where he wowed his audience with an impressive performance.
Flavour is set to take the “Level’d Up Tour” to San Francisco in California in October.
In 2005, he released his self-titled debut album N’abania. In 2010, Flavour released his second studio album, Uplifted. It was supported by the singles “Nwa Baby (Ashawo Remix)”, “Adamma”, and “Oyi Remix”.
The album’s success made Flavour one of Africa’s most sought out artists.
He was booked to perform at numerous concerts and social events following Uplifted’s release.
Flavour, who is well known for his ability to sing fluently in the Igbo language, was born in Enugu State, Nigeria.
His family is originally from Umunze in Orumba South LGA, Anambra State, Nigeria.
Flavour began his music career at the age of 13 when he started playing the drums for his church choir in Enugu.
The resident pastor at his church introduced him to a friend, Chris I. Ordor, the CEO of SoundCity Communications.
In 1996, Flavour was invited to join the company on an educational scholarship to study music.
After three years of playing the drums, Flavour started playing the drums professionally.
In 1999, he moved on from playing the drums and started playing the keyboard.
He also used to provide back-up vocals for other musicians at SoundCity.
