	Fuji music - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Fuji is a style of popular Nigerian music, popularized in the early 1970s by the one and only "Fuji Creator," Alhaji Sikiru Ayinde Barrister.
		Although there were quite many fuji groups with collaboration and rivalry alike around Lagos island by this time, the "fuji" transformation originally became prominent with the recordings of Alhaji Sikiru Ayinde Barrister and Alhaji Monsuru Akande, both of whom recorded for the TYC/African Songs musical labels in Lagos.
		Fuji is a percussive style of music, relying on complex interlocking rhythms played on a variety of traditional drums, while also incorporating drum machines and keyboards in its modern incarnation.

	Nigerian Music
		Nigerian music also utilizes ostinato rhythms, in which a rhythmic pattern is repeated, and variable metres which change the time signature of a piece of music.
		Traditional music from Nigeria is almost always functional; that is, performed to mark a ritual such as a wedding or funeral, and not for pure entertainment or artistic enjoyment.
		The most common format for music in Nigeria is a call-and-response choir, in which a lead singer and a chorus interchange verses, sometimes accompanied by instruments which either shadow the lead text or repeat and ostinato vocal phrase.

		Fuji music, named after the famous Japanese mountain symbolizing love, unity and brotherhood, has dominated the popular Nigerian music scene for the past decade.
		Traditionally, Were music is an expression of Islamic faith during the holy month of Ramadan, acting as a rousing call for Yoruban Muslims for their early morning prayer.
		The ingenious transition of Were into Fuji music was the result of the experimenting of Alhaji Dr. Sikiru Ayinde Barrister, who decided to take Were music out of its early-morning, Ramadan context, and add a variety of external influences (Apala and Sakara music) to the sound.

		The Nigerian-German musical collective known as Bantu (Brotherhood Alliance Navigating Toward Unity) have collaborated with numerous African acts, including Pee Frois, Black Soul, and Jollof.
		Fuji, a genre meant to evoke the majesty of Japan's famous mountain peak, combines the catchy, infectious call-and-response melodicism of Afrobeat with the Yoruba drumming workouts and tireless jams characteristic of juju.
		One would be hard pressed to find a better African pop record for 2005 than Fuji Satisfaction, a record which successfully combines dancability, political consciousness, and some of the most intense Yoruba drumming to be etched onto a CD in some time.

		It makes this set pretty essential for ANY world music fan and even those who like any kind of rhythm in their music, that is hip hop, jazz, funk whatever.
		The interplay of voices and slack-key guitar is Nico at the top of his form, and the songwriting is in the same stratosphere with Fela and Johnny Clegg in its directness and power.
		The exuberant album is a wonderful example of musical build-up, from the elegantly intoned talking drums to slinking guitars and then a vocal power that grows exponentially with each additional voice taking on new choruses.
