Museum, iSupport Music Business presents Solomon Willy at Luthuli Museum in
Groutville, tomorrow night (February 2, 2018).
Willy is a Nigerian-born performing artist,
composer and a music producer in the jazz industry. Willy and his band are
extremely versatile and professional to the core, a team with vast experience
from playing at various corporates events as well as an array of jazz
festivals. The exciting band offering original compositions and extensive mix
of popular tasteful African music and jazz standards, lead with a jazz guitar

expect some Fela Kuti and more. Not to
be missed,” says Willy.
