Fuji

Fuji is a dynamic and rhythmic genre that originated from the Yoruba people of Nigeria, evolving from traditional Islamic praise music called "were" performed during Ramadan. Characterized by its use of Yoruba percussion instruments like the talking drum, agogo, and sakara, Fuji blends energetic beats with call-and-response vocals, often addressing social and political themes. Popularized by artists like Alhaji Sikiru Ayinde Barrister and King Wasiu Ayinde Marshal, Fuji continues to resonate with its vibrant fusion of traditional and modern influences.
