Actress, Aisha Abimbola practically brought the roof down at Stadium Hotel, Lagos, last weekend, when NAIJAZZ, a record label run by Ayoola Sadare’s Inspiro Productions hosted the highife music legend in Lagos. 
The actress, who was overwhelmed by Olaiya’s performance was compelled to leave her sit and engage Pa Olaiya in a classic highlife dance as the pair gyrated and swayed to the legend’s hit tunes including Baby Jowo and Omo Pupa.
 Clad in a white fishnet top and a clinging skirt which terminated just above her knees, the sexagenarian had no choice but to tango with her.
Talking to Superbass Naija after the dance the actress said: “I’m so excited listening to his music and watching him play. Pa Olaiya’s music is evergreen; I grew up listening to his vibes> I am a fan for life” the actress said.

Other artistes on parade included Victor Ademofe, Bright Gain accompanied by Tee Mak and Tosin Alao. Others musicians included Denii, Femi Leye and the eclipse band, Ebisan, Imole Afrika and Aremu.
Commenting, Ayoola Sadare of NAIJAZZ said: “Victor Olaiya, after putting in 60 years as an active performer and giving us numerous hits deserves. To be celebrated. The vision of NAIJAZZ is to redefine and restore Nigerian music to its glorious position and where else does one reference from than from those who were part of building the foundation.
“The stadium hotel should be elevated to a tourist monument by government. I am looking forward to having Dr. Olaiya perform at some of the other events they had planned such as the Abuja International Jazz festival-ABUJAZZ and as a keynote/master class speaker at the forthcoming NAIJAZZ music summit where the wealth of knowledge he and others musical veterans have could be shared, archived and passed on to younger musicians,” he added.
