Fortunately, for Ade, it was at this peak of his blossoming career that his popularity was scientifically tested and acknowledged by a hit parade that was being conducted by Research and Marketing Services Limited for Radio Nigeria 2, the then leading FM Station in the country.
But Ade further revolutionized juju music by increasing these guitars, adding more drums, introducing flamboyance of a robust type, elegance and dignity to the live performance of the music.
With the release of the album "Juju Music", Ade was launched personally onto the Western pop scene, and his presence generated the kind of buzz associated with a big star.

 The Mavens' Word of the Day   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-02)
I've heard the term juju carelessly tossed around, usually to describe something that is bad: "Dude, that's bad juju!" I know that it derives from African juju magic, which I believe draws its power from juju stones.
The Dictionary of Folklore, Mythology, and Legend says that juju is "the spirit dwelling within a made object or fetish, in the belief of the Ibo of the lower Niger.
Today, juju music's most famous star is Nigeria's King Sunny Ade, called the "Minister of Enjoyment." If you have the right software, you can listen to some selections from one of his most famous albums, Juju Music.

 Juju the Cage-Bird's Roost on the Web
Juju's own voice and muscles are wasting away from lack of use, and each day, with each upgrade the cage grows stronger and more impressive, a distinct entity from the bird inside.
Amazing stop motion sequence of the cage recovering from the crash and flying off, while Juju, so skinny and atrophied that she was flung through the bars on impact, is left sitting on a gravestone unable to catch up to her creation.
Despite the freedom that comes from the techno-lust and cage retrofit, Juju still does not know about the air, and "supposes gloomily she has no wings." The story of Juju is inspiring, funny and philosophical.

 juju: Afropop Style -- Nigeria, West Africa
By the time KSA first toured internationally in the early `80s, juju could compete with that era's best rock music for its force of expression, theatricality and visceral impact.
As such, juju holds a unique position in the history of all African pop.
These days, as elsewhere in Africa, hip-hop aesthetics are popular with young musicians and fans, and new variations on juju are emerging as the style changes its shape to suit the times.

 I.K. Dairo: A Rememberance
Dairo specialized in juju music, a lively mixture of traditional Yoruba social dance drumming, songs, and praise poetry, Latin American rhythms, and Christian church hymns, performed on guitar, percussion, and talking drums.
Dairo joined his first juju band in 1942, and spent the next ten years as a migrant laborer and cloth trader, while continuing to perform music on the side.
His ability to extend the appeal of juju music across ethnic lines while at the same time reaffirming the genre's links to 'deep' Yoruba culture lay at the heart of his success.

 Tak and the Power of Juju for GameCube Review - GameCube Tak and the Power of Juju Review
Tak and the Power of Juju can serve as a decent platformer, but if you're in the market for one, it shouldn't be your first choice.
Though it isn't prominently announced on the packaging, Tak and the Power of Juju is a game that came to be through collaboration between THQ and Nickelodeon.
The visual style in Tak and the Power of Juju is the most inspired and unique aspect of the game, though this aspect of the game still leaves something to be desired.

 IGN: Tak and the Power of Juju Preview
In creating Tak and the Power of Juju, publisher THQ has pioneered one-of-a-kind partnership with Nickelodeon: create the game first, and then follow-up with the television cartoon shortly thereafter.
Tak and the Power of Juju is a described as one part action-platforming and the other part puzzle solving.
Juju, on the other hand, is a close relative of the magic we know as "voodoo." As the tagline goes: In Tak's world, "magic actually works." Having played this early version of the title, the only such examples of magic that we witnessed dealt with transforming Tak into a stuffed chicken with googley eyes.

 Amazon.com: Juju: Music: Siouxsie and the Banshees   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-02)
'JuJu' is occasionally thought to have been the first Gothic album, though I do have to point out that Toyah's classic album 'The Blue Meaning' was released the previous year, and is very much a Gothic album.
To use just two examples on "Juju," the remastered "Into The Light" makes the original CD sound as though it's being played under two feet of water, and I'm not talking about the removal of producer Nigel Gray's "walking on the moon" sound that permeates the entire album.
"The Scream" was equally stunning and its source material is older that that of "Juju" (and was probably in worse shape, as the first albums of every band - future legends included - tend to be when dealing with careless record labels with a new band on their roster).

The last two iterations, Tak and the Power of Juju and Tak: Staff of Dreams both offered a groovy blend of platform action and puzzle elements.
The story centers on the titular Juju Challenge, which draws scores of competitors from different tribes every 60 or so years.
Although time with the current build of Juju Challenge was short, the THQ folks managed to demo three of the stages from the main game, including Silver Stone Coast, Parch Lands and The Deep Wood.

 Amazon.com: JuJu: Music: Wayne Shorter   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-02)
When Wayne Shorter recorded this date in 1964, he was asserting his own voice as both a saxophonist and a composer after his years with Art Blakey's Jazz Messengers.
Shorter's a master of tension and release, using contrasting elements in a piece, mixing major and minor, consonance and dissonance, and different rhythms to evoke complex moods of doubt and playfulness or constraint and joyous swing.
"JuJu" is a great album, but I believe the use of Coltrane's rhythm section pigeonholes Wayne as a Coltane immitator, which he is not.

 IGN: Tak: The Great Juju Challenge Review
The Juju Challenges, defined as obstacle courses, are little more than straightforward, platform-heavy levels designed around timed checkpoints.
Gamers who played Tak or its sequel will by and large find a lot in common with these stage make-ups, which are wide open and filled with trails, ropes, pillars and other structures, all waiting to be explored.
The Great Juju Challenge feels in many ways like an extension to previous Tak outings, which is both good and bad.

 Juju by Siouxsie & The Banshees CD
Siouxse & the Banshees were never afraid to experiment with other musical styles while using their trademark gothic sound as a starting point, as heard throughout their 1981 release, JUJU.
Over the course of most of their recordings, Siouxse & the Banshees either met or topped their previous releases, and JUJU more than delivers on the promise of their previous work, resulting in arguably the group's (and one of goth rock's) finest album ever.
"Juju" along with "Kaleidescope" make for a perfect evening of incense burning, candle light and, well, maybe even wearing some fl.

The Great Juju Challenge is great fun for kids, and will be very entertaining for anyone else who will let themselves enjoy it.
The Great Juju Challenge is the third installment in the Tak series, so it can’t get off as easily as it would have as a brand-new franchise.

JUJU, Wayne Shorter's second Blue Note date as a leader, displays a more personal side to the legendary saxophonist.
As the lone horn man, Shorter performs with an artistic sensitivity that was often hidden in the larger front lines of Art Blakey's Jazz Messengers and his later work with Miles Davis.

Tak's aided by the perky Flora, daughter of the Moon Juju.
With the levels as big as they are, plodding through each one to recover these trinkets and engaging in other miniature fetch quests can be a real chore.

 Entombed : Black Juju - Listen, Review and Buy at ARTISTdirect   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-02)
Few metal bands underwent a more radical evolution in the 1990s than Entombed, who entered the decade as an amelodic, high-speed death metal/ thrash/grindcore band, but who evolved into a slower, more accessible outfit with Metallica leanings and a strong appreciation of Motorhead.
And while the Entombed of the late 1980s/early 1990s appealed primarily to the Deicide/Cannibal Corpse/Carcass crowd, Black Juju is far from grindcore; it contains honest-to-God song structures.
Black Juju is not only the most accessible album that Entombed recorded in the 1990s -- it's also the band's strongest and most captivating.

 Tak 3: The Great Juju Challenge Review - GamersHell.com
The Great Juju Challenge kicks off with friends Tak and Lok endeavoring to swipe a required feather from a phoenix in order for the Pupanunu tribe to enter the aforementioned tournament.
The levels in The Great Juju Challenge are all time based; the more time you have left at the level’s end, the better score you will receive.
For example, when a group of enemies must be destroyed to activate a beacon, but a spell shrine must also be completed to advance in the level, players can split up and perform these tasks simultaneously, thereby reducing the precious time spent within the level and increasing their score.
