Tuface's live performance at Mare Festival

The trio, who were the star acts at this year’s event, literally peaked the Idanre Mountain with their banging hits, after they had delivered scintillating performances to a jubilant crowd.

The event held at the Olofin Grammar School, Idanre centre, after winners had emerged at both marathon and raffle draw sessions which had earlier held at the Idanre Mountain resorts.  

Tu Baba, performs 

The concert which marked the end of the 2015 Mare Festival was attended by Governor of Ondo State, Dr.Olusegun Mimiko and his wife, Mr. Kayode Akinmade, Commissioner for Information, Mr. Femi Adekanmbi, Ondo State Commissioner for Special duties, Culture and Tourism, Nollywood celebrities led by Jibola Dabo, Yemi Blaq, Bimbo Oshin and host of other notable dignitaries.

Tuface started his performance after he had been introduced by Ara, with the strumming of remix of Ebenezer Obey’s evergreen song, ‘Baby mi jowo’, the collaboration with Ara, added dimension to the concert.  

This was immediately followed by his hit songs African Queen and Rainbow. He strutted the stage with his legendry display, in a black bodysuit on a white T-shirt decked on black pant.

 The jubilant crowd however overran the barricade manned by security officials, when Tuface performed his ‘Let somebody loves you’ hit from his ascension album.

At a point, the electrified crowd became energetic, super-charged and restlessly shouting, Tuface , Tuface , Tuface, when Governor Mimiko, was brought on stage to deliver his speech.  

Their plea however got Tuface excited and high, that he disregarded MC’s directive to put his performance on hold. This created a scene of some sort as Tu Baba almost became angry that he couldn't resist the crowd’s urge for more performances.

The situation was later brought under control when Tu Baba was offered a plastic chair to relax on stage, after he had been persuaded by the governor that the performance would continue after he had delivered his speech.

The excited crowd however overran the stage demanding for more performance after the governor’s remark.
