Dr Sikiru Ayinde Barrister Refined Fuji Garbage part 2

Alhaji Sikiru Ayinde Barrister, MON, a.k.a., "Fuji Creator," is a native of Ibadan, the largest city in both Nigeria and Africa. Born in 1948, he is appropriately and fondly referred to as "Mr. Fuji" by his worldwide fans. He started his music career as the lead singer of a popular were music or ajisari group, Jibowu Barrister, in Lagos, under the leadership of one Alhaji Jibowu. This group sang during the holy month of Ramadan to arouse the Islamic faithful in and around Lagos for prayers and early morning meals (saur or sari).

Struggling to modernize the were music or ajisari genre, which was derisively considered a "local music" by the students and educated elites of Nigeria, Barrister created a new style of music called Fuji. In one of his popular LPs, "Fuji Reggae Series II," which he used to chide critics for tagging his music local and un-civilized, Alhaji Sikiru Ayinde Barrister asked, rhetorically, "Who can tell me the full meaning of Fuji [music]?" He then explained that it '...is a combination of... apala, sakara, agogo, gudugudu, agidigbo, aro, highlife and etc.' Barrister once said that he chose the name for the musical genre when he saw a poster advertising Japan's highest peak, Mount Fuji, at an international airport. In 1980, Alhaji Sikiru Ayinde Barrister released an LP, "Oke Agba," which became an instant hit. Edging out popular genres like Juju music, and smashing the Nigerian music charts within months, "Oke Agba" went platinum. This made both the genre and its creator, Alhaji Sikiru Ayinde Barrister, to become very popular nationwide even among their most virulent of critics, the students and the educated elites. Today, this LP record, "Oke Agba," has become a classic.

@koolex74

Use realplayer download option. You have to update your RP to the newest version. Afterwards, everytime you cross some video with mouse, the download option will appear. All you have to do than is to set download folder. :))
