Los Angeles, April 21 (NationPress) The ‘Calm Down’ hitmaker, Rema, showcased a phenomenal, electrifying, and redemptive performance during his appearance at Coachella weekend two, following significant technical challenges the previous weekend.
The Nigerian Afrobeats sensation encountered notable issues during the first weekend of the festival, as his DJ and band members experienced delays on stage for the initial half-hour of his 45-minute set, as reported by ‘Variety’.
When Rema finally took the stage, he lip-synched for a few songs while the backing track dominated, only to be hurried off as Coachella producers enforced a strict ending time.
According to ‘Variety’, Rema delivered the vibrant performance he had initially intended without missing a beat. After the DJ hyped the crowd for a few moments with Davido’s ‘Unavailable’, Rema appeared atop a makeshift mountain wielding a sword, a moment that was likely omitted from weekend one due to time constraints, and he energetically performed ‘Amazan’ and ‘Yayo’. What followed was a journey through his discography, featuring hits like ‘Calm Down’, ‘Charm’, and ‘Bout U’.
“You know what? I believe it’s time for the beautiful girls to dance tonight,” he announced to the audience while transitioning into his verse from Darkoo’s ‘Favorite Girl’. Rema captivated the audience as his backup singers powerfully executed renditions of ‘Soundgasm’ and ‘HEHEHE’, before concluding with ‘Ozeba’.
The first weekend was a challenging moment for Coachella, as it was one of the first performances of the event to experience major issues. A representative for Rema clarified that he arrived two hours ahead of his set time and the soundcheck went without a hitch, but 30 minutes prior to his actual start, his in-ears didn’t fit and the microphone was malfunctioning. Once he stepped onto the stage, he couldn’t hear the band, and vice versa, which resulted in the backing track handling much of the performance.
