Tekno, RNA thrills fans at Dream Alive with Pikolo Squad concert
The 3rd edition of Dream Alive With Pikolo was
held on Saturday 0ctober 24th with a mind
blowing concert tagged The Squad. The concert
was the grand finale of the annual talent hunt
show. All roads led to Hexagon a popular events
and hang out spot in GRA, Benin city.
Music heavyweights like TEKNO , RNA and a host
of others thrilled the crowd with their
performance; the climax of the event was the
announcement of the winners of this year’s
edition. Unlike other previous concerts that don’t
lived up to his billings due to failure of the much
publicized artist not turning up, but the
organizers of Dream alive with pikolo made sure
the Benin fans had a feel of Tekno, Rna and
other acts.
Having held rigorous auditions, all the
contestants were looking out for the
grand finale of the event. This is not only
the high point of the project, but it is the
night on which talented young acts got
opportunity of having their names
written in gold and bright lights. Several
contestants participated at the hunt only
three came out top in comedy, dance and
music. The winners of the events were
rewarded and organizers will also
nurture their talents and empower them
in their fields.
In a brief chat with HON. Daniel
Eromosele a.k.a Pikolo he said
“In 2013 and 2014 respectively, we
recorded significant success in all three
categories of comedy, dance and music.
That is, in part, the motivation we have to
host the third edition of this event in 2015.
Truth be told, the journey had never been
easy, but the light we see in what we do
has been a driving force for us. Personally,
I persuaded that Dream ALIVE With Pikolo
is way bigger than any one individual,
including the convener. The vision is
gigantic and the work is huge.
While DreamALIVE With Pikolo gets better
with each year that passes, we are not
ignorant of the demand it places on our
resources: energy, money time, logistics,
and manpower. This is what naturally
informs the need for a pocket of
collaborations that has made us succeed
over the years. DreamALIVE With Pikol o is
NOT a one-man show; it has been, in its
entirety, the product of teamwork.
"I will not fail to express profound gratitude
to the Governor of the State, Comrade
Adams Aliu Oshiomhole for his fatherly
support and encouragement. The Governor
made a platform available when he
appointed me Senior Special Assistant on
Arts and Culture. I am also deeply grateful
to all the commissioners, past and serving,
who thought it wise to throw in their
support simply because they are convinced
this noble initiative holds a tremendous
promise, and has the capability to catapult
talented young people into the spot light
and give meaning to their endeavours”.
The event was loaded with lots of fun,
thrills, glitz and razzmatazz. The crowd
had lots of adventure, glamour and
excitement. In 2016, the fourth edition
will be hosted and it promised to be
better and bigger than this year’s
edition.
