Passion and betrayal in the Lagos music scene, told through original songs that broke out of the film and into actual Nigerian playlists.
Watched again after its long cinema run, the drama is thinner than memory suggests, but the musical sequences remain electric, and its influence on everything that followed — including this year’s Colours of Tomorrow — is undeniable.
Verdict: A flawed drama, a landmark musical. Essential Nollywood history already.
