If the information making the rounds in the entertainment clan is anything to go by, Bayelsa born Dance Hall artistle, Timaya and the yori-yori crooners Bracket failed their United States of America (USA) audience when they could not perform with a live band before the expectant audience.
It was gathered that very unlike the garbage in garbage out, the Nigerian artistes feed their, audiences at home.The foreign audience they were billed to perform in America insisted that Timaya and Bracket perform with live bands, but these guys could not blend, hence they were shown the way out of the stage.
Our source noted that this show of shame is a big lesson for our local artistes who are used to cutting corners to stardom, stressing that the ‘Egberi Papa’ got messed up in far away America because he could not take up the challenge that would have shown that he is a good musician, and wondered why an artiste who can not flow will be celebrated.
The source further stressed that it is quite unfortunate that both musicians could not play any instrument, adding that as a performing artiste, you cannot sustain your stay on stage with a live band, you can only try complete acts and they cannot make an impact without rehearsals and stuffs like that, so they take their jobs seriously and excel naturally.
The story also has it that what happened to the musicians is a proof to what the masked one, Lagbaja Omo Baba Muko Muko sang sometime ago that “any child who rejects home training will get it outside of the home, but in a hard way.”
