Yes! I used to play guitar and tour with a famous guy named Pat Thomas from Ghana in the '90s, throughout North America and Europe, and people from the audience would come and put money on Pat's face all the time,

Did Obey tour North America in the eighties? Wish I'd seen him. I saw King Sunny in concert in 1983. Amazing experience.

This is the opposite of Fela Kuti, who was wise not to insult himself with banknotes while people outside were starving.

The Juju´s are Gods that exsisted 5000 BC. Juju is a word for the Gods, of which there are more than 1000...yes,( JUJU or God´s music ). it is a term used to differential the incoming western music from the true homeland sound, which was then native music. Ethnography, Theosophism and Anthropology are all new compare to Nativitism and Ritualism. Juju music is a music of the retuals of the African Gods among all black people, way back in their Garden of EDEN. YES.......Note: We do not only enjoy Juju Music, but we can also. swear and put a speel on somebody in the name of your JUJU........watch out.................
