Sikiru Ayinde Barrister's biggest competition came from this man. Alhaji 'Chief' Kollington Ayinla and his Fuji '78 Organisation made a whole bunch of records. Discogs alone shows 37 of them. Once again, phat back rhythms, you gotta love'm .. Sikiru Ayinde Barrister's belangrijkste opponent was zonder twijfel deze man. Alhaji 'Chief' Kollington Ayinla and his[...]

If we look at our fuji posts so far, we find some Kollington Ayinla, some Sikiru Ayinde Barrister, Salawa Abeni and Micky Adisa. Only fourteen records until now. Here's another Kollington Ayinla for the occasion of our Nigerian Week, I'll post some more Sikiru Ayinde Barrister as well in the near future. Crazy rhythms, deep[...]

Dear Groovers around the Globe, I am still enjoying my summer break but to show a sign of life, this here post. Zippyshare is a temporary thing and I seriously think getting my own serverspace is the best solution for the future. I want to say welcome back in cyberspace Nauma. So good to see[...]

This week I received a request for some juju, fuji or apala. It's been some time but we had her before at the GG. This is a type of music I enjoy once in a while but know absolutely nothing about. The rhythms are overwhelming and I think Queen Salawa Abeni has a huge voice,[...]

The more I listen to fuji, the more I like it. It's drums can take you on a journey, sweeet. Two big names in fuji-land, Sikiru Ayinde Barrister and Kollington Ayinla. I think they're both great. tracks; 1 E ye ika se - Oromo adie fo - Ko s'ohun tan o le fi gberaga -[...]

To continue we have us an album by Alhaja Queen Salawa Abeni, she was the one with two requests so here she is. Salawa has a full and strong voice, surrounded by all those drums this sounds fabulous. Rare Nigerian material you don't get to hear every day, check it and stay tuned, there's some[...]

Fuji is a Nigerian music style that started at the end of the 60's. It exists mainly from percussion, like talking drums, and vocals. Fuji got so popular during the 80's that it took over juju. It is said that fuji represents the Islam like juju does for the Cristians. Kollington Ayinla was the second[...]

Dear Groovers, yesterday I posted Alhaji (Chief) Kollington Ayinla & his African Fuji '78 Organisation but made a stupid mistake. It never happened to me before but I recorded side two of the album two times. Luckily, Theo, an awake visitor, warned me and this morning I did it over. So I'm very sorry for[...]

De laatste tijd zit ik volop in de Nigeriaanse muziek. Eerder hadden we hier op de Global groove al een Nigerian Week. Hierin kwamen juju, apala, fuji en highlife al aan de orde. Later hadden we een week met in het bijzonder de Etsakor en Afenmai highlife sound. De komende week staat vervol- gens volledig[...]

Somewhere during last week I received a request for more Kollington Ayinla or fuji in general. Do you know these guys already ? Strange thing if you 'google' Micky Adisa you'll find nothing and if you google Fuji Londoners you get to Sikiru Ayinde Barrister or the Royal Talazo Fuji Londoners. One way or the[...]
