Fuji music

Fuji is a style of popular Nigerian music, popularized in the early 1970s by performers like Sikiru Ayyinde Barrister. It arose from the improvisation Ajisari tradition, which is a kind of Muslim music performed to wake believers in the morning during Ramadan. Barrister and his contemporaries modernized the style in the early 1970s, and it grew steadily popular through the ensuing two decades. By the end of the 1990s, it was one of the most popular genres in the country.
