NIGERIAN DJS – GROWING STRONG WITH MUSICAL CELEBRATION
Nigerian DJs Coalition 4th Annual Summer Jam
Friday June 4th through Sunday June 6th in Houston, TX
On June 4th through the 6th, 2010 the “Hottest Coalition of Nigerian DJs” celebrates its fourth annual “Nigerian DJs Summer Jam” in beautiful Houston, TX, home of the largest body of Nigerians in the United States. The “Summer Jam,” as fans call it for short, is the superlative event in the world inviting all cultural tastemakers and Nigerian musicians and celebrities to celebrate Nigeria’s ever-popular musical heritage.
Nigerian DJs Coalition, known as Naija DJs for short, connects the world with Nigerian music through events, workshops, radio programs, mix-tapes and seminars. Naija DJs Summer Jam (SJ) initially started as a party in Maryland in 2006 but has since evolved into a meeting place for members of the coalition, artists and fans to celebrate Nigerian culture through music and consists of a welcome party, the official Summer Jam, and other engagements. SJ attracts many popular artists who employ this medium as a networking opportunity, talent showcase, and publicity platform to get their music to the world through Naija DJs. Artists such as Kelly Handsome, eLDee, NAIRA, Duncan Daniels, and others graced the stage at past SJ events. As a primary highlight of the coalition, Nigeria’s finest DJs such as the legendary DJ Jimmy Jatt, DJ 3k, DJ Dee Money and other members of the coalition consistently bless the “1s and 2s” at the annual SJ event.
Naija DJs Chairman DJ 3k states, “This year’s Summer Jam promises to be another big one.” Houston’s own DJ Tunes will be in attendance along with other Nigerian DJs members, and the musical line up is currently in development with details released soon.
With 90 members spanning several regions of the world, Naija DJs continues to fulfill its purpose and promote Nigerian music. Chapters have emerged under the Naija DJs umbrella such as the Naija DJs UK chapter formed on April 9th, 2008.
More information about SJ can be obtained at the coalition’s official website: http://nigeriandjs.com/main.htm. Detailed information about the coalition and its events including a video and photo gallery of past events are available as well.
