Freddy Meiway, known in real life as Frederic Desire Ehui, aka Monsieur Zoblazo, rules dance floors all the way across Africa.

Ratcheting up zoblazo (a catchy rhythm from southern Ivory Coast), Meiway forged his own signature style throughout a career that has spanned almost 15 years.

For the past five years, African Legends Night has celebrated musical icons from the continent and carved an event niche catered to the middle-aged and the young who have a soft spot for local African music.

The event has over the years brought great acts ranging from South Africa's legend, Hugh Masekela; Femi Kuti; Ghanaian ace saxophonist Steve Bedi and Ben Brako among other blend of artistes across Africa.
