Fuji

Fuji music is a rich and spirited Nigerian musical genre that rose from the Islamic Ajisari wake-up music, transforming into an eclectic mix of traditional African percussion, melodious singing, and Islamic-influenced vocal chants. It's known for its powerful rhythms and entrancing beats, orchestrated with the talking drum (dundun), the Sakara drum, and a variety of other traditional instruments. Lyrics often touch on everyday life, social issues, and praise for individuals. The genre gained prominence in the late 20th century, driven by its energetic danceability and the captivating performances of artists like King Wasiu Ayinde Marshal and Alhaji Wasiu Ayinde Barrister. Prolific figures such as these have contributed to fuji's evolution, infusing it with contemporary sounds while maintaining its cultural essence.
