A group of American Navy officers have set the social media space ablaze with their instrumental rendition of the hit song ‘Rush’ by fast rising Nigerian Singer Ayra Star.
Entertaining their audience and Nigerians with various local and international instruments, the US Naval officers have made Nigerians appreciate our rich heritage in music, as many Twitter users who watched the video said it is always nice when foreigners appreciate Nigerian songs
The video which was shared by Twitter user, Victor Agunbiade, appeared to be shot in Lagos and as some other users claimed, the band was trained by a Nigerian lecturer from the University of Lagos.

Some reactions from the video include:
@OlaniyiopeyemiE_ tweeted, “This is the Department of Creative Arts, University of Lagos and I can see Dr. Sheyi Khenny, a music maestro here. It’s evident he played a role in it.”
This is just as @boonakins_ said, “This is why no one ever takes the Navy seriously 😂. So satisfying to watch tho”
@Flam3s1_ added, “The question should be what is the US Navy doing on our shores… To me it’s suspicious. That’s how they were caught chilling in our waters for over two years plus.”
Another tweep @nnekeejike_ Broad added, “@ayrastarr @DONJAZZY have given us a timeless tune I must say. See the power of good music can’t be hidden. This is lovely and kudos to the US Navy Band.”
@Chilex02530116_ admitted, “Wow this is beautiful! Usually lots of musical talents in the military… They have lots of time to practice.. and it’s also a psychological strategy for winning hearts and minds when tensions rise.”
@ejyki_ also commented, “The only thing we are missing in Nigeria right now is good governance from the very top. Nigerian youths have broken every boundary there ever was with their talents. We have literally united the entire world with our music craft. It’s time to use the same craft and unite Nigeria.”
