Send Down The Rain crooner Majek Fashek was seen free styling to one of his songs Love and Affection during a dinner with Monica Omorodion Swaida, his former backup singer.
The U.S-based singer and actress said, “Majek kept on singing this song ‘Love and Affection’, but the odds were not on our sides to do this song. This is the collaboration! For me, it is good! Wouldn’t
ask for more; it was worth my time.”
Revered as Nigeria’s greatest reggae singer of all time; he was the first Nigerian act to perform on the David Letterman Show. No Nigerian singer has done this since then. Fashek made a comeback to the music scene after rehabilitation from alleged battling with drug abuse and alcohol addiction. The reggae singer has made appearances at recent music events including Felabration 2015 and Afropolitan Vibes in December 2015.
Fashek’s classic record, Send Down The Rain, released in 1987 has a strong place in the history books as Nigeria witnessed the highest amount of rainfall the same year. Blame it on coincidence or the potency of his singing powers, but Fashek became a legend after this.
