It was another evening of good music and entertainment as the leading star, at Atunda Entertainment, ARA Thunder, performed at Olubukola Adetola’s 40th birthday beach party at Ibeju-lekki, Lagos.
No sooner did Ara Thunder hit the colourful stage, that the tempo of the evening party changed. Guests who were colourfully dressed in different stylish, fashionable aso-oke designed attires, jumped up from their seats to regale and dance to good African music.
ARA Thunder’s fast musical beat and involving music couldn’t let anyone be found sitting! And the celebrant, jumped to the stage! It was her day, and she was ready to party, as she danced and danced!
ARA Thunder who has been having a good run over the years, performing to local and international audiences, put her razzmatazz stage performance skills once again into good use.
ARA Thunder remains the first ever female igbo talking drummer to emerge from the Eastern part of Nigeria. She is also fondly known as, ‘Omo Ibo ti o n lu gan gan.’
And Olubukola Adetola, the celebrant, who is also a financial expert, had this to say after ARA Thunder’s performance:
“It’s my 40th birthday party, and it has been beyond my expectations. Ara Thunder’s performance has made my day. She was very energetic on stage. It was beautiful. I was surprised and i was able to catch fun. I am enjoying myself.
Asked what it feels Iike being 40, Olubukola Adetola replied:
“I actually feel 20, I feel like I still have a lot to do, I want to make an impact in life. So I’m expecting that I do more and contribute to impact humanity.”
On why she chose to celebrate her 40th birthday with a beach party, Olubukola Adetola simply said, “I wanted something that will give me the same feeling of being abroad and I felt I could achieve that with a beach party, where i could have fresh air with my guests, as we celebrate together. I am thankful to my family and friends who came out to celebrate with me. I am also thankful to my party planner.”
