I still can't understand how Juju music literally "died" and it is now playing second fiddle to Fuji. Back in the day, Juju drew more crowd than Fuji. Now you cannot name one active Juju musician.
@@afrobeatslyrics1221 You are probably correct. All the Juju exponents of those days were from traditional christian homes who later became pastors, evangelists and apostles etc. They just "abandon" the music without viable successors, unlike Fuji music with traditional Saheed, Wasiu, Monsuru, Taju etc.
Besides of KSA and Obey switched to Gospel to me it's 2 factors , the first .., I think the second tier of the Juju stars that suppose to continue the traditions all move towards fuji percussions and Afro beats in trending to what believed to in vogue ..the likes of Sir Shima Peters , Dele Taiwo , Days kujore Etc ...bringing more funcky tunes but killed the basic of Juju traditions The second factors is the leadership of King Sunny Ade and Ebenezer Obey themselves ...they were just too difficult to follow in terms of their style unlike Ayinde Sikiru in Fuji ..I questioned how much aid these Leaders gave to enhance progress of Juju back then .......I bet if u ask .Y. K Ajo....Emperor Peters ....Ade Olusayo. They would tell you this ....RIP juju music
@@babaneee1 @babaneee1 I agree that the complexity of KSA and Pa Obey's style and their longevity were too hard to follow. Maybe it's not the question of leadership. Dele Abiodun acknowledges KSA as a welcoming mentor. Segun Adewale acknowledges Pa Obey as a good mentor. The main problem is in the switching of genres. As Sunny and Obey switched to gospel themed song, the genre became weak. The next generation of juju musicians either followed gospel path or renamed their genres (e.g SSP used Afrojuju, Segun Adewale to Yopop). In my opinion, that's what really killed juju.
The lead talking drummer did an incredible job! He made a great music greater!!!!
My dad's favorite
One of the finest of Dele Abiodun music Adawa Super.
Yes o
My dad made me love this man music. Keep resting dad.
Uncle Dele Abiodun you are one of the best musicians in the world
This is just a proof of hard work, look at what the instrumentalists played. I wish everyone good health/good luck.
I remember my Dad with tears
Dele music is unique
This is a great music from a legend
The drummer that played the conga drums here is fantastic. Awesome, I really want to meet him in person if I must be honest
Great old tune
E o fura is arguably the finest of Admiral Dele Abiodun's many albums. I prefer the side 2 of the album which is juju gospel.
Uncle Dele you are simply the best, among the rest.
May Almighty God bless you, and strengthens you in the Mighty name of Yeshayah.
Classic.
Very cool EgbaAlake!

Could it be that Juju began to die when the biggest fishes in the pond (KSA and Obey) switched to gospel?

@@afrobeatslyrics1221 you nailed it ....juju has always been a melody and whatever is in vogue ..but fuji snatched that from them
