READ: Asa's concert shows that she is absolutely terrific at what she does

Apart from the fact that the show started about 30 minutes behind schedule, everything else was spot on. From the opening performances by Kaline, Bez Idakula, Falana, etc, to the lighting, stage management, and sound.Asa mounted the stage to rapturous applause and adoring screams, going on to deliver more than 15 songs in a performance that lasted two hours on May Day.Below are the top three noteworthy things that happened during her performance:

The  instrumentalists' solos were really good

Till the end of the show, there was no mimed performance. It then should come as no surprise to hear that there were some amazing insrumentalists' performances at the concert. A worthy mention here is Falana who did a remake of the classic song, 'Favorite Things', while playing a box drum. Asa's guitarist however had one notable moment of musical genius during the rendition of 'Be my Man', where he did a lovely solo that drew a scream of admiration from the crowd.

Asa's dance steps

We know her for good merging of vocal ability and energy on stage, we however have only seen shades of her dance skills, until last night. Asa jiggled and moved and swayed and jerked in several dance moves. She dabbed, she also did the Shoki dance. There was a lovely moment during her performance of 'So beautiful' when she really did dance, as her drummer syncopated her moves. In my opinion, the dance steps sometimes looked traditional, and at other times downright hilarious, but members of the audience, of course, were ecstatic about it.

Performance with Cobhams Asuquo

As Asa declared that she would love to invite someone upstage, fans already knew it could not have been anyone else but the music maestro, Cobhams Asuquo. In a lovely performance, the pair did a duet of Beyonce's 'Halo', which was dedicated to Beat FM OAP, Toolz. They also did '360' and afterwards Asa joked that she wouldn't mind sharing Cobhams with his wife, and the crowd went wild with laughter.

Cobhams produced some songs on Asa's self-titled album, "Asa" in 2007.
