KWAM 1 speaks about the future of Fuji music in this PREMIUM TIMES interview, conducted at late Ayinde Barrister's first-ever colloquium

, one of Nigeria’s Indigenous genres of Music, has grown and gained global acceptance over the years in terms of fanbase and popularity. Still, many Nigerian musicians would instead take to afro-pop or pop music these days than Fuji, a trend Fuji maestro,

We don’t have to wait until it is gone before creating our history through Fuji which God has already blessed us with Sikiru Ayinde Barrister as the Jamaicans did to Reggae. Music before our time was not structured like this, and maybe they just felt they were doing it for fun. We know that what we have at hand is beautiful. We know we have a laudable project at hand, and everybody probably would not want to be seen as a testing ground. So, I am sure everybody will take their place in the next colloquium.PT: What sacrifices have been made to see this come through?You want to build a nation; you must sacrifice a lot.

How can Fuji music take advantage of digitalisation?We are in a hurry, we want to see magic overnight, but common sense says to us that as much as we are in a hurry, we have to be very careful in getting some things done the right way. I can’t do it alone, hence the need for me to keep searching for people to bring up ideas on how we can go about it.
