06/2003 Input/Output: One-Minute Tutorial with Nigerian Juju   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06) In the mid ’60s, Chief Commander Ebenezer Obey and King Sunny Ade continued the trend, gradually expanding their lineups so that by the early ’70s, they numbered upwards of 20 musicians—including whole sections of guitarists and percussionists, and relatively exotic instruments such as trap drums, synthesizers, and pedal steel. A friendly competition between Obey’s International Brothers (later called the International Reformers) and Ade’s African Beats led to increasingly complex and longer songs—some running well over 30 minutes. Juju came to dominate the Nigerian music scene throughout the ’70s and early ’80s, at which time Ade effectively spearheaded the worldwide Afro-pop phenomenon by touring internationally. www.guitarplayer.com /archive/0603/0603_io7.htm   (389 words)
