Fuji is an African popular genre combining beat and vocals with meditative, philosophical music. The most important feature of Fuji is percussion. It was developed by Sikuru Ayinde Barrister who began his career in 1965 with the performance of Muslim morning songs of faith during the holy month of Ramadan.

He came up with a name of the genre after the victory in faith music competition held in Lagos. It was chosen, most likely, by chance from the Japanese Mount Fuji (as Sikuru claims for the beautiful sounding of the word). Soon, Sikuru had a rival Ayinla Kollington who divided the admirers of Fuji into two camps. By the end of the 1990s, Fuji music began to overtake the Juju in popularity by turning into the musical mainstream of Nigeria. The undisputed leader and innovator of the genre is Wasiu Barrister, known as KWAM (King Wasiu Ayinde Marshall).

However, the music scene changes every year. New stars appear on the stage. Find out who is the richest Fuji musician in Nigeria.
