With his cool but driving, sophisticated style, Prince Adekunle is one of the great Juju masters from the days .. Wikipedia Discogs Vol. 7, To Become a Man 1983 .. and his[...]

Today we bring you this quite unknown album by a juju artist that always was a little under estimated. General Prince Adekunle was here on three earlier occasions. He was the teacher of guys like Sir Shina Peters and Segun Adewale but never became as famous as his students. The record we have here does[...]

Goodmorning, how about some Yoruba Juju today ? We had two of his albums so far and it was about time to follow up on those. Sweet juju music from 1976. I'd say, get it and spread it as usual.. Goeiemorgen muziek vrienden, wat dachten we van een stukje onvervalste Yoruba Juju vandaag ? Ja[...]

It is time we had us some juju music. General Prince Adekunle and his Western Brothers are back at the GG and they rock. I am guessing if I say this album is from the mid 70's, it just feels that old. I particularly like the tight rhythmsection that gives this LP a strong push[...]

Late post tonight, I blew a recording earlier and had to start all over. What have we got ? This is an album by one of the greatest juju masters. Sir Shina Peters and Segun Adewale made their name with the band of Prince Adekunle but reached much bigger public than their teacher did. Although[...]

Sir Shina Peters earned four Nigerian Music Awards through this 1989 album, 'Ace'. Artist of the year, song of the year, album of the year. He called his modern juju style Afro-Juju'' , a cross over between Afro-Beat, Fuji and Juju. We had several albums with him, with his friend Segun Adewale and the two[...]

We saw him on several earlier occasions. We have some solo albums, one with his firend Shina Peters with whom he worked under General Prince Adekunle. Segun Adewale reformed his juju to become Yoruba Pop music or in short Yopop. This is his 1984 record Atewo-Lara. Like yesterday's post an elpee on the outstanding Ibukun[...]

We already had an album by the other Prince General Adekunle student, Segun Adewale. Today his buddy Sir Shina Peters finds his way to you. Sir Shina takes the juju to a whole new level, it sounds very nineties so to speak. In 1989 He was given four Nigerian Music Awards for the release of[...]

Gisteren spraken we reeds over deze man. Uit de school van General Prince Adekunle dus hebben we vandaag een elpee van Segun Adewale. Uit 1985 en op Stern's is dit een zeer stevige juju plaat. Dikke talking drums en een geluid dat lijkt te zijn afgestemd op de westerse markt. Een stuk moderner dan de[...]

"With wealthy Nigerian backers, Sir'' Shina Peters combined juju with elements of Fela Kuti's Afro-Beat style and the upfront drum sounds of fuji music into a style he dubbed Afro-Juju." ( Rough Guide ) This 1984 album on Makossa fascinates from beginning to end. Sir Shina Peter's afro-juju is full of surprising turns and sounds,[...]
