naptu2: I weep for this guy , I actually had tears in my eyes after seeing that video , he was the golden boy of Nigeria then before drugs finished his life. He was a brilliant singer and talented performer , now he's nothing like he was and will never be again. Stop drugs it will only destroy you 1 Like 1 Share |

naptu2: Thanks for the mention. Majek oh Majek! These videos bring tears to my eyes. I was very happy for him when I saw the 'Majek Fashek in NY' video. That joy turned sour when he returned. The later release of 'Little Patience' raised some hope but it was not to last. My thoughts and prayers are always with him. His songs are very 'spiritual.' He released 'Send down the rain' when I was writing major exams. That song and 'Silver Shadow' by Atlantic Starr were what you could call my 'charge songs.' I used to sing them to charge myself up when going to write the exams and they did wonders for me (of course I prepared adequately and God was on my side!) Each time it was played by RN2 in the mornings before we set out for class, it would rain! Within a week, my friends and I quickly took notice of this. On another note, do you know he was a 'waka pass' character in one of Sunny Okosun's musical videos? I can't remember the title of the song but the video begins with a classroom scene in which Sunny was in front of the class addressing (singing to) the people in the class. After about a minute, they all pour out of the class singing and dancing. Majek was one of the people in the class and his light complexioned skin stood him out. He must have been what is today know as an 'upcoming artiste' or one of Okosuns's band boys at the time. Probably around 1987. Do you know the video? I'll try and recall the title of the song and probably get the video. 1 Like |

naptu2: I drew blanks searching for the video. Can you dig it out? While searching I found out Okosun had earlier been Sir Victor Uwaifo's band boy. Remember King Pago who performed with Uwaifo and later Majek? I see a thread in these. Do you? Of course, the Bendel link is there. I think there's some similarities in Uwaifo and Okosuns strings and percussion arrangements. Majek had a peculiar percussion stlye - pangolo. Any link to Uwaifo or Okosun? Funny thing is that Okosun is gone (physically), Majek is ...(I don't know what word to use) but their Baba (Uwaifo) is still very much around! Okosun also had gigs with Fela and the Libitos. |

johnie: Gosh! I totally forgot! I was going to write about King Pago in the introduction to the thread. You can clearly see him in the video of Majek's performance in California. I often joked that he was the first musician that I know that got transferred (kind of like how footballers are transferred). |
