Na fusion of Yoruba folktale songs, agidigbo, palm-wine styles like ashiko, gombe, konkomba. Tunde King na Father of Juju wey popularize guitar. Later, talking drum (iya ilu) become di lead — di most important instrument wey dey render proverbs and praise, with lead guitar for melodic embellishments. Function: To entertain, counsel and reform, plus praisesing for merchants and great people. By Civil War (1967-70) when Highlife musicians comot Lagos, Juju become dominant band music for Western Nigeria. *JiNG & BiNG Translation:* Juju = Memory code. Di throw wey no miss. *2. BLACK RHYTHM & XOULFUL BLUES (BRXB) — DI DIASPORA BRIDGE* Juju itself na syncretic of African and Western elements — but e continue dey absorb indigenous and foreign music throughout its history. b871936d90ee Black Rhythm = African polyrhythm, palm-wine pulse, talking drum syntax.
