Another Tribute album in juju style today. Chief Commander Ebenezer
brings it to the late Chief Obafemi Awolowo. Ebenezer flirts with
western influences on this LP and calls it ‘Miliki Sound’.
Extremely nice talking drums, sweeet juju.

tracks;

1 Tribute to the late Chief Obafemi Awolowo
2 Enia ti mo feran ju
– Wa sun laiya mi
– Abanije eku ofo
– Ara yin le nda loro
– Oke kan ga joke
– Jesu ni mo fehinti

Here’s a piece of Yoruba Juju History, a Sunny Adé from 1976.
To my humble opinion one of the better albums. Unfortunately
it has some pops and crakcle, I guess it is worth at least a
couple of spins though. Get it and spread it ..

Hier is een plaatje met wat Yoruba Juju historie met Sunny
Adé uit 1976. Ik denk zelf één van zijn betere albums. Hij
heeft wel wat plopjes en kraakjes maar is het toch waard om
op z’n minst enkele keren te draaien naar mijn mening.
Pak hem, luister en geef door aan je vrienden ..

tracks;

1 Late General Murtala Muhammed
– Afemi afemi
– Asa nke
2 Ominu Nkomi
– Ika to to simu
– Odofin bello
– Mo beru agba

– Alhaji opeloyeru
2 Oba oke ma fi ina gbogbo wa

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 most popular Fuji wizard after Sikiru
Ayinde Barrister and the two were rivals untill fuji got so popular,
even called dancefloor exitement, that it didn’t matter anymore.
With razorsharp lyrics, Ayinla was the source of social commentary
in the Yoruba Muslim music scene. Second fuji album on this page,
with some left to follow, enjoy !

tracks;

1 Oluwa wa se l’aiye
– Second tier

– Gbanjare O.
2 Olorun nikan l’oba
– Alaragbo ku abo
– Ibraimoh danmusa
– Iyawo mi ma segberaga
– Ayinla ti de

Next to King Sunny Adé and Chief Commander Ebenezer Obey, this

King Sunny Adé is back with an ’82 album. I had an anonymous request for
more juju music. It’s true, I did not post any juju for quite some time.
I am getting more and more obsessed with Congolese music lately.
This does not mean I don’t like juju anymore but you know how these
things work, I’m just following my heart. Today this KSA LP found
it’s way to you and I’ve got some others waiting for their turn.
If time is limited, prioriy’s must be taken, just hang on.

tracks;

1 Oro oko ati iyawo
– Aya to pawo
2 Ife ki ibinu
– Alhadji Jide Okunnu
3 Aja ngbo nigbo
– Ika o dara
– Ata wewe
4 Maje nbi were lomo
– E saiye re

Warrior is back with his Oriental Brothers International.
Only two tracks with little over 36 minutes but they are no waste
of time. With some synths added, at moments this LP sounds
inbetween Highlife and Juju, a combination that doesn’t hurt at all.

tracks;

1 Akaraka
2 Ndi adudu

Prince Nico Mbarga is back at the GG with a late but outstanding LP.
We’ve heard some 70’s and some 80′ albums on which family matters
and social issues dominate. On this 1987 LP, Nico Mbarga is still
loyal to this fomula. Check out this sweet family album.

tracks;

1 Sweet family
2 Lake nyos
3 New generation
4 Eyinji enjuk

It’s time for some Nigerian music today.
In december last year I already posted an album by African System Orchestra.
You can find it here . This one is some 3 years older,
and brings us 4 songs of sweet Highlife, what a great band, check it.

tracks;

1 Bad friend
2 Bikoko
3 Good night my girl
4 Inyanga no good

Last but not least in this series of juju updates is this LP

1 Afai bawon ja
– Igba tode
– Won so wipe a kere
– Asese bere
2 Omo wumi
– Jarinatu seriki
– Memudu alabi
