Already in december 2008 I posted the first volume of Chief Dr. Sikiru Barrister's Fuji Garbage. This second volume opens with a little disturbing hiss but sounds better later. Although fuji does not have any guitars normally, this album does. One way or the other, sparkling fuji record with the great Sikiru Ayinde Barrister. Recorded[...]

Yesterday I thought I was posting Sikiru Ayinde Barrister but received the following comment by Ayo; "Moos, this is not Sikiru Ayinde Barrister. This is his protégé. He started out as a roadie in his band, then left to form his own band. That’s why he took his nickname. He’s simply known as Wasiu Ayinde,[...]

To honour him once more, play this record very loud and enjoy. tracks; 1 oro ibo - Alhaji Oluwanishola Amao 2 Oluwa lo[...]

As usual in fuji music, one Chief honours the other on this 1982 album. I see a certain link between the Chiefs we know from the New Orleans Mardi Gras, such as these, and the Chiefs we see in fuji music. They both wear pink dresses.., no but serieus, we better don't compare Big Chief[...]

This is the first album with Fuji music on this page. Fuji is a style from Yoruba-land, sometimes described as Juju music without guitars. Originally, Fuji ( called after Mount Fuji in Japan ) is based on muslim 'were', the singing alarm clock songs, performed for early breakfast and prayers during Ramadan. Sikiru Ayinde, better[...]

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[...]

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[...]

This is not Sikiru Ayinde Barrister but a fanatic follower who used his name .. (read the comment below ..) Dit is niet Sikiry Ayinde Barrister, maar een fanatieke volger die zijn naam over neemt ..

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[...]
