The hysteria reached a crescendo as more than 20 super talented young instrumentalists took their turn to show the over 1000 guests at the main auditorium of the University of Lagos what they've got, sex really wasn't a barrier as a group of female drummers came on stage and wowed the audience with an out of this world performance.
