As part of Flytime Promotions’ Detty December lineup, legendary R&B group Total performed at Flytime’s House of R&B event at the Eko Convention Centre shortly before the main festival kicked off. The set, backed by DJ Kid Capri, marked one of the standout moments in a season packed with music and cultural celebration. Flytime’s December slate also included Rhythm Unplugged on December 21 and the multi-day Flytime Fest from December 22–25, featuring headliners like Flavour, Olamide, Asake and Davido.
There’s something quietly powerful about an R&B moment landing in the midst of all the pounding Afrobeats and high-energy sets — a pause, a breath, a space where voices and harmonies invite people to feel rather than just move. When Total, whose smooth sound defined much of the ’90s and early 2000s R&B era, stepped into Lagos’ December noise, it didn’t crash the party — it re-tuned it. In a festival season that often feels like a race for the next peak, their presence reminded the crowd that music isn’t only about the beat that makes you dance but also the melody that makes you remember. It’s in that shared stillness, where voices intertwine and fans recognize something familiar, that moments become memory rather than just spectacle.
In the broader tapestry of Detty December — a period already renowned for its festival lineup and cultural pull — this R&B night stood as a gentle counterbalance: a reminder that sound carries feeling. And so it leaves us with a soft question to hold onto as the lights fade and the speakers go quiet: what songs have shaped the way you feel together with others — not just in the moment, but long after the last note has played?
