There is a Guinness World Record for everything these days and it’s been announced that a new one has been broken for the Largest Orchestra for an Afrobeats Concert. The event happened back in December at Balmoral Eko Convention Centre in the Nigerian capital, Lagos. The Trenches Symphony, as it was styled, featured some 80 musicians playing alongside some of the biggest names in Afrobeats. Among the artists that took part were T.I Blaze, TML, Vibez, Rybeena, Cazulee and Nigerian icons Saheed Osupa and KS1 Malaika. They all performed tracks from their respective back catalogues, accompanied by orchestral arrangements.
