Thereafter, winners from these regional auditions will be taken to Enugu for a week of mentoring by some of the leading acts in the Nigerian music scene before the grand finale.
Life Continental Lager Beer has continued to demonstrate that it is indeed for progress. That is why its concept of TuruUgoLota is inspiring its consumers to progress in their socio-economic enterprise.
Consumers revel in Hi-Life Fest because it promotes the Igbo culture and gives upcoming musicians the platform to showcase their talents to the world and bring home the glory.
Aishat Anaekwe, brand manager, Life Continental Lager Beer, explained that the annual event is aimed at creating a platform to identify and harness highlife talents resident in South-East Nigeria.

She stated also that Hi-Life Fest has been one of the most beloved experiential platforms.
