thanks for this, it's a revelation of reality of k1 lies and his effort to change history, Fuji music is a combination of all music genre put together to make one sound called Fuji, as define by the creator himself late Dr sikiru Ayinde Barrister. k1 need to apologize to those that what music is in the country

[@princewasiishola1158]

remi akilapa yes you right. Combinations of angere, igunnu, eyo and so on. Attest to your comment.

[@shevy884]

and if you listen to this music very well this album was released in year 1976 or lower because he was talking about operation feed the nation which was obasanjo program during military rule,which was after muritala muhamed was assasinated

[@idowumohammed4689]

66 comments were here before mine. Too bad many of you will not come back here to read my comment to clarify some of your confusions. There is no question whatsoever that Barrister is the creator of the fuji genre, an off-shoot Were music, which was mostly just Sakara music. Before Barrister, when Were practitioners graduated to make albums, they invariably made Sakara music: Jolly Lawa, Saka Laigbade (my cousin), Sikiru Abinuwaye, etc, all seniors to Barrister. From the very beginning, Barrister who coined Fuji, moved away from the Sakara beat, although his main drum was still sakara manned by Tunde Balogun Oyadolu up till at least 1980. In the mid to late 70s, he began to use gangan in support of the dominant Sakara drum, and had 2 gangan drummers as at 79. He did not use string (goje), a staple of Sakara music, opting to use the simple mouth-ogan, which he played from time to time in live-play throughout the 70s. Interestingly, Monsuru Akande, who also played Fuji, released an album slightly ahead of Barrister, but it was never called Fuji. His adoption of Fuji as his genre, was after Barrister has already popularized Fuji in the early 70s. Monsuru Akande who never became a huge Fuji star always made a contentious claim of the first Fuji record.

[@adewilliams8]

Thank you for your research and lesson in Yoruba Fuji music, this is why history is important, it clarifies confusion, lies and distortions.

[@adeyemiadebare58]

You got the truth behind Fuji creation

[@razakabbas4253]

Thank you splendidly for uploading this magnificent musician hitherto unheard of. Please keep it coming. Excellent job.

[@ismaheelazeez1233]

MONSURU AKANDE, Sikiru Ayinde B, G Kollington Ayinla, all started with Sakara lyrics. GKA and SAB also used a kind of flute in their early records. K1 was right as corroborated by GKA in his records 'No Shaking' and 'Back to Sender'

[@shevy884]

that same year this man was playing sakara barrister has defined fuji and name his group fuji group

[@obasanjovalentine5168]

thanks for posting this, this is either apala or sakara it is never a Fuji compilation, k1 also list these people up to epo akara singing dadakuada and not fuji, k1 can't be right let him say some more. rubbish

[@ayoolastephen8237]

K1 doesn't sing Fuji, he is Fuja musician.

[@raheembabajide870]

U better forget Mr.Fuja

[@jibsonayodeji7384]

This is purely Sakara,Late SAB in his effort combined all kinds of music to be branded as Fuji.However Wasiu can brand his music as Fuja from his School of thoughts period

[@akeemelegbeji5300]

This is Sakara music as evident in the drums and Goje played here. Contrary to K1's claim that this man played Fuji

[@theHellzaPoppinjazz4u]

;) shared ! ty Egba :D as usual...

[@kofinsiah2159]

I know this is from 1960s and early 1970s. Thank you for posting.

[@hammedakande2666]

Egbalake pls can u upload more of monsuru akande and Iyanda sawaba's music. Thanks

[@EgbaAlake]

Ola Ola Definitely

[@empowerbare]

if K1 is taking about all this ppl and thier records, the point is they were not call or name it FUJI may be fuja or faaji finished

[@olabodeoladipo1127]

The difference between Sakara and Fuji music is the instrument. SAB branded Sakara as Fuji by taking out sakara drum (round saucerlike drum) and replaced with small talking drum (gangan). WAB did not invent or pioneer Fuji music. Kollinton (Kebe n'Kwara) add drum set (jazz) and bata drum to differentiates himself from SAB. Sakara is more of Yoruba folklore mixed with Islamic religion thats why it's most popular during Ramadan (Aji Were). My point is that SAB branded Fuji hence he should get credit.

[@Criticalthinking01]

SAB did created Fuji, he named it, he defined it, promoted it all over he world. Do your research.

[@Criticalthinking01]

And, he waxed the first Fuji album.

[@alayoibadan4396]

Big shame to this K1,this is not Fuji Music at all,this is Sakara Music

[@adeniranbabatunde3386]

I think is right time we should see our comment base on maturity not by insulting someone if you like it or not barry is legend of music and k1 is still the leader of the rest of them now and this people are making money more everyday look taiye for example so why are we here to insult ourself to me is not a good thing like base our argument base on mature and natural

[@bodeoje3838]

This man evidently sang a genre of music roughly known as Ajisaari music, which Barrister also sang in his early years. However, this does not give any point to Wasiu Ayinde Marshall's camp, unless there is anywhere the man mentioned this music is fuji. I was even expecting fuji music to be written under his name.

[@azeezismail3247]

Wasiu Ayinde is really crazy, this music doesn't sound fuji

[@dayoofere8513]

azeez ismail it is Fuji ,if u listen to Flavour from Wasiu ,he said everything changed under Barrister by infusing various instruments 🎺, Jolly Lawa is one of those that influence Sikiru Barrister,he has said that many times

[@kasalifatai8923]

Nigba tojewipe Orin olorin ni K 1 ma njiko loje koma pe sakara ni Fuji Ooponu olorin

[@lukmantolase5534]

Wasiu ishola K1, has hidden agenda on this controversial Issue and all is about bagging national award like MFR, OON e. t. c which he quite knows that his antecedent so far on Fuji is not enough to shoot him to attain national award except he uses politics. Check his life style right from his youthful age , he is a big copycat, he used to place himself in SAB shoes who was naturally endowed unlike him that is fake .SAB bagged honorary PhD from Disney World due to his advertisement of magic museum with his music 'eja nla nla be ni sale Odo toto giripa omo Adama o'.This Album popularise and made sales for the museum .Let's ask ourselves where and how Wasiu ishola came about his Dr. of Music. He claimed in 1993 that he is the king of Fuji by organising Kangaroo committee to enthroned him. He claimed that he is Oluaaye of Fuji meaning creator of Fuji so all this while he is a fake. Listening to this music heaven and earth know that this is sakara like Olatunji Yusuf and also was released during the Fuji and was not named Fuji. lnfact, aye oniro ko no da, ise oniro ma baje no.

[@waleolami6661]

This is very close to sakara if not sakara. I think it is silly to use this guy's name to propagate falsehood as Wasiu is doing

[@aderojusola4677]

The truth can never be changed and if K1 has decided to destroy Barrister legacy no problem history h will never forget him,and he should know that his own destruction is coming very soon.And this very Wasiu Ayinde has sang in his old album and praised Barrister as Fuji creator why is it now he has decided to rewrite the history of fuji.

[@waleolami6661]

I think it is an effort bound for failure

[@kayodeadeniyi6604]

Barrister was a great man but we should not out of sentiment call him what he is not

[@faniranemmanuel4096]

good oldies

[@bodeoje3838]

Thank you for posting this. The world question is, is this fuji music? This is evidently sakara music.

[@ajirin7147]

@Bode Oje exactly our argument with Wasiu Ishola K1 . Asiri Wasiu Ishola K1 ti ntu bo diedie.

[@rasheedgoodluck9090]

Ajirinnibi Olagoke yes my brother

[@razakabbas4253]

Indeed.

[@abdulrofihiabdulquadri2554]

This is different from fuji entirely. I am disappointed in k1 for claiming Barry was not the founder of fuji music. I am k1 fan and i have been following and listening to his music since 80's. If at all barry was not the founder of fuji music, the statement should not come out from k1. bcos in 80's , while writing his name on album he would include barrister's name as his boss.

[@shevy884]

this is without doubt were style when SAB started with were which was like this already and he call his group ajisari group but as time goes on he changed his style and call his brand fuji music and defined it by the virtur of that anybody that want to say anything about fuji dont have any point saying SAB was not the creator of and that time he call his group sikiru ayinde and his fuji group,

[@Criticalthinking01]

Sakara

[@kayodeadeniyi6604]

I'm not K1 fans. But Barrister knew he is the most successful Fuji singer on the planet for now. At least no Fuji musician ever performed inside Aso rock before him. Except if God decide otherwise no one will perform after him because Fuji music is dying. If you don't agree, you are entitle to your opinion

[@olamustapher5924]

this saka olayigbade and his sakara group

[@adewolewahab5091]

@kayode SAB played in aso rock when he received MFR award and k1 only played in aso rock when APC won.

[@lateefbalogun4847]

Fuji is the name of the music that was practise during Ramadan. Called Were. In other words Oni Fuji Loma ji were. Hajji Barrister happens to be the musician who popularized Fuji into a main stream music. Also various Fuji musician had different styles of singing. More power for posting this album Jolly lawa was among the top were artists back.then

[@Bootoomee]

Stop lying. For goodness sake, stop all the stupid lies and rewriting of history. Fuji is not Were. Stop parrotting Wasiu's lies. Fuji is one of the many genres of music that evolved from Were. Would you also say that Sakara, Apala and Awurebe are Were too? Enough of the stupid lies please.

[@olamideobajimi307]

Lateef Balogun no correlation. unsound argument. "Oni Fuji lon ji were is wrong. if u said Oniwere lon ko Fuji, maybe u may be partially right. the truth is that SAB created Fuji. no doubt.

[@razakabbas4253]

Simply, I concour. Thank you for uploading these Yoruba folklore musicians of yester years.

[@mikeemma7624]

It s were dat become fuji in lagos. When I was growing up in lagos, I used to follow Salanko from Isaleeko. He was known as a fuji singer den , fuji wasn't even popular . He sings his song as follow, Salanko sagogo mowo. .bonti se jija re. Wasiu Ayinde himself at dat time has nt started were in lagos island. Wasiu was right to say dat fuji slang was common among d were followers at d time. They used to bring barrister from mushin to come and played in lagos , dats how he got exposed to d islanders. He picked up d name fuji from d islanders during d were competition at Onala , lagos.

[@Bootoomee]

Sunday OGUNKANMI: No. Not anywhere close to reinforcing Wasiu's argument. He claims Barrister is not the creator of Fuji music. The only way he can win that argument is by presenting evidence of anybody else calling their music Fuji before Dr Sikiru Ayinde Balogun. Dr SAB already gave Jolly Lawa his due respect in Fertiliser (1985 album) as one of his seniors in Were music. Wasiu was either lying in his 1981 album when he called Dr SAB "Fuji creator" or lying now that he claims he wasn't. There is only one established liar on this topic and it is Wasiu Ishola.

[@olamideobajimi307]

Mutiu Shokanmbi true

[@oyeolanrewaju7950]

Definitely not Fuji!

[@Bootoomee]

Jolly Lawa never even called his music Fuji. It is Wasiu's minions that spreading the stupid lie.

[@fataiadegbite6132]

This is sakara.this is what all Fuji musician s singing back then,including barister,Kolinton,K1 and other famous Fuji artist

[@numerouno3281]

@Ajinnibi: This record might on the contrary reinforced K1's argument. this one is advanced were, but with some deference to sakara a bit. what K1 was arguing was that there had been artistes who had advanced were before Sikiru Ayinde Barrister.

[@Bootoomee]

No. Not even close to Wasiu's argument. He claims Barrister is not the creator of Fuji music. The only way he can win that argument is by presenting evidence of anybody else calling their music Fuji before Dr Sikiru Ayinde Balogun. Dr SAB already gave Jolly Lawa his due respect in Fertiliser (1985 album) as one of his seniors in Were music.

[@numerouno3281]

@Shokanmbi: I love the way you marshalled your points. Nice one bruv

[@Bootoomee]

Thank you. I appreciate that and I respect you for it. I am a massive fan of Dr SAB and Wasiu but he has really fucked up on this issue. He is terribly wrong and I have no idea what he stands to gain from creating and perpetuating the unnecessary controversy.

[@ayotundesanniodewale6372]

this record came out the same time when barrister sang "bomode mawi, won a ni emokan" etc. barrister categorically stated his own fuji. these musicians never confronted barrister in their time. their drums were sakara, omele sakara, shekere, igba, goje and small shekere. but barrister drums includes all above and gangan, iya ilu, konga, bembe, agogo, akuba, trumpet, agogo, jazz...so they are not alike. and I know Jolly, I was born/schooled in elegbata in Offin/olowogbowo. he sang sakara. i lived all my young adult live on Lagos Island. k1 didn't do a good job on this.

[@razakabbas4253]

This is purely the were genre of the 50's to wit Ajadi Ganiyu and the Fuji-ni, the Lagos Ajisari groups of those days.

[@kayodeadeniyi6604]

I wish most of you buy fidau CD held for Barrister and confirm. While the prayer was going on it was announced that Ajadi Lawal Barrister boss is dead. Alh Muideen Bello made the announcement. You did not contest it them. You are hypocrites

[@kayodeadeniyi6604]

Most of you are mischievous. K1 narrated the story from Ajisaari Ajiwere. Hence all that are involved must be mentioned. Are you telling me Barrister was the first Ajiwere? Most people are reasoning somehow

[@lateefbalogun4847]

History revisionist. Go back and research your fact. I know that meaning of words change when translated to English . So therefore am going to say it in Yoruba. Oni Fuji Loma ji were.
