Fuji Events This Weekend in Barcelona

About Fuji

Fuji music originated in the late 1960s among the Yoruba people of Nigeria, evolving from the traditional Were or Ajisari music used to wake Muslims during Ramadan fasting. This percussion-heavy genre is characterized by the absence of Western brass or woodwind instruments, relying instead on a dense polyrhythmic foundation provided by the gangan talking drum, sakara, and congas. The tempo is typically brisk and energetic, driving an improvisational vocal style that features call-and-response patterns and philosophical or social commentary. As a major secular successor to Apala and Sakara music, Fuji serves as a vibrant, festive pillar of Nigerian popular culture, bridging Islamic spiritual traditions with modern urban dance sensibilities.
