Fans and colleagues of the late Nigerian music legend, Majek Fashek, have been remembering him with fond tributes.
“My father came from Lagos to Oguta, my home town, along with Majek Fashek, and he spent one year with me. In fact, he sketched his hit song ‘Send down the Rain’ in my small studio back then in the village. This was where I also learnt a lot from him about music. Paying his own tribute, veteran reggae singer, Orits Wiliki, described Majek Fashek as a mentor and one of the pillars of reggae music in Africa.
Dr Sid said “My first memory of Majek was when my parents were coming back from Lekki Sunsplash in 1989 with the ‘Prisoner of Conscience and I & I Experience vinyls.’ Great music from a true legend. In a statement issued on Wednesday, the Minister said Majek was the archetypal musician, as he was not just a singer but also a songwriter and a guitarist.“He blazed the trail not only for today’s reggae artists but for the entire generation of musicians in the country.
