Top 10 Afro (Juju) and Highlife Musicians in Nigeria


Before the advent of Hip pop which has presently taken over the whole country, Afro-juju and highlife were widely celebrated throughout Nigeria from early 1950’s until late 1990’s. In recent times, hip hop music appears to be holding sway with the electronic media in Nigeria with massive airplay. The origin of this style of music was largely attributed to Ghana which later spread to Sierra Leone, Liberia, Gambia and Nigeria via Ghanaian workers, among other West African countries, by the 1930’s. The music is often performed live with groups of singers and instrumentalists called a band. Nonetheless, Sunny Adé's musical output has continued to inspire a vast generation of other Nigerian and African musicians and music lovers who believe in the big band musical set up—which the likes of Osita Osadebe, Sunny Adé and late Fela Kuti were noted for.

So in no particular order here is the list of these musicians:

Fela Kuti
With his original name as Olufela Olusegun Oludotun Ransome-Kuti, he became known widely as Fela. He was born on 15th October 1938 in Abeokuta, Ogun State, Western Nigeria. He was born into well connected Yoruba family as his father, Reverend Israel Oludotun Ransome-Kuti, was a Protestant minister and school principal and his mother, Funmilayo Ransome-Kuti, was a feminist activist in the anti-colonial movement. He is also the first cousin to the Nobel laureate Wole Soyinka, the first African to win the Nobel Prize for Literature. He played for some time with Victor Olaiya and his All Stars after which he formed his own music group called Afrika’ 70.

With his well-connected background, there is no doubt Fela became more famous and popular with his style of music as he was the pioneer of the Afrobeat music in Nigeria and Africa. He was also a human right activist and used his music to publicly criticize the (then) corrupt military government and also to fight European cultural imperialism as he supported traditional African religions and lifestyles. His famous music single was Water E No Get Enemy. His famous albums include: Shakara (1972), Confusion (1975), Zombie (1977), The Best Best of Fela Kuti (1999) with major concerts like Teacher Don't Teach Me Nonsense & Berliner Jazztage '78 (Double Feature), 1984. He has been nominated for Grammy awards on three separate occasions.

In 1960, Fela married his first wife, Remilekun (Remi) Taylor, with whom he would have three children (Femi, Yeni, and Sola) and divorced all his 12 wives and concubines after release from prison in 1986.

Fela was a chronic chain smoker and died on 2 August 1997 from Kaposi's sarcoma, an AIDS-related disease.

King Sunny Adé
His original name was Sunday Adeniyi and he was born on 22nd September 1946 in Oshogbo, Ondo State of Western Nigeria to a royal Yoruba family. His father was Church organist and his mother was a market trader. Sunny is well known to be one of the most influential Afro-juju musicians as he was also a song-writer and multi-instrumentalist. He formed the group called African Beats which he later changed the name to Golden Mercury whose music was characterized with the use of Yoruba talking drum

With his Afro genre of music, King Sunny became the first African to be nominated twice for a Grammy. Notable amongst his music albums are Odu (1998). In 2009 King Sunny Adé was inducted into the Afropop Hall of Fame, at the Brooklyn African Festival in the United States and he humbly dedicated the award to the Late Michael Jackson.

Currently, King Sunny Ade runs his non-profit organisation called the King Sunny Adé Foundation, and is also working with the Musical Copyright Society of Nigeria.

I relocated. Left the environment that promotes/helps my addiction. I changed my number and deleted the contacts of every 'friend' that sustained my addiction. I joined a church, opened up my heart to Jesus, received him, and he restored my life. Today I am free.

My hostel roommates shit for body onto alcohol.

Righteousness89:
I Look back and all I can say is Thank you JESUS..
So many Mistakes that would have Taken my Life.
Women, Alcohol,etc wore me like a garment..
It got to a time Alcohol no matter the level or brand tasted like water in me..

It got to a time, ladies would mess me up in the Dream! I was Messed up Physically, Spiritually and Mentally

I would travel from west to East and North just to commit Fornication and Come back. My Folks would think I went for Job stuff!

On one of such journey, I almost lost my life.

Despite being Sooo Messed up, Jesus Got me , Cleaned me up, Turned my messed up life around and the Rest is History!

No Matter How Messed up you are! Some of us were more Messed up than you are. But I Guarantee you that the Blood of JESUS is Capable to clean you up!

What can I say, God is indeed my father. He restored me.

WaterTheMonk:
Trying to find a path

The curious mind is the greatest assets to have. I have touched various places I wouldn't have if I hadn't make the wrong choices.
I have learnt a lot about life; experience I wouldn't have learnt or probably learnt late, if I hadn't made the wrong decisions I made.

I regret my actions but the universe will never betray me. Nothing is truly wrong, we are just learning in pain and joy.

Thanks.

Saintmary:
Oh my God. Just wow. Well done.

Thank you.

blackboy:
Good one. Open a YouTube channel and share the story. Dont go back to drugs. It's never too late to go back to school and with you being a teacher it will make going back to school easier as per academics

Thanks. Never will I return. I will consider your advice.

dangermouse:
Thank God for the steps u have taken to put an end to ur addictions. The step to redemption starts from one deciding that he has had enough. Mind u no one can help u, unless u first take that first step. Battled with cigarette smoking from my late secondary school days all through university and people close to me where usually disappointed when they find out. My girl friends tried all they could, but they couldnt make me quit as i devised ways to evade thier suspicions. When i got married, wifey tried but couldnt too. Until i decided withhn myselft to quit with several relapses. Today am free from tobbaco addiction.

Am glad for you. Indeed freedom starts with the decision to stop. Thanks so much for your contribution.

Thanks.

Tadeknkeepcalm:
Thank you for sharing this. It was worth it.
I hope things turn out better for you.

Amen sir.

This topic was Inspired by this thread I saw on fp yesterday.

https://www.nairaland.com/6036487/23-years-old-no-idea

We are where we are today as a result of the choices and decisions we made in the past. This is a summary of mine :
.
Years back, I got wound up in my bad things. I
will always start my day with 250 mg to 500 mg of tramadol. After which I will walk to the small joint close to my uni to start smoking and drinking. (THIS IS AROUND 5:40 to 6:00 am).

At about 9 am when most people must have left the hostel, I will return to take my bath then return to same joint and continue till 8pm. My life was ruined. I became a pathological lair, drug addict, sex addict, gambler(though I was winning money), lost and empty.

I was given a key to the joint by the owner and I became his staff /friend. I was also a popular customer in two other joints.

Weed, alcohol, cigarette and drugs were my daily companion. Interestingly though, some people wanted in to the lifestyle but I never allowed anyone touch cigarette coz that was where the problem started.

I had good friends. They will advise me, trick and force me to class, assist me in test and exam preparations and they believed in me. When I became a mockery, they still identified with me.

A lot of things happened. One day, I decided to end it. I went to town intending to walk into a deeper life church for prayers and help but alas, Satan had more plans. I searched but found no deeper life. Funny! I opted for any church but found none rather I found a brothel where I smoked and drank. I never liked prostitutes, for some reason I don't know.

I later took a bus home.

I opened up. They gave me good moral support and welcomed me.

Later that month, I gave my life to christ. I currently work as a private school teacher. Salary is not much but am grateful to God. Things has been tough but It could have been worse, so I thank God. I do by best to share my story with my students so they don't repeat my mistakes.

I hope to return to school only the finance is holding me back.

So, if you are feeling worthless and useless, know that you are not. If you are an addict, know that you it will destroy you unless you let it go.

TODAY IS A HARVEST OF WHAT WE PLANTED YESTERDAY. So let's share stories about the choices and decisions that brought us where we are today. It could help someone. It may even help you. LET'S SHARE and LET'S HELP.
