Fuji history: K1 made a great mistake-Barryshowkey

One of the children of the late Fuji legend, Late Sikiru Ayinde Barrister, Adewale Akanji Balogun popularly known as Barryshowkey has attributed the efforts of another popular Fuji act, King Wasiu Ayinde popularly known as K1 to explain the genesis of Fuji music as a gross mistake.

 

Barryshowkey, who is equally a notable Fuji musician said 'There is no doubt about it, everybody knows that my late father, Dr. Sikiru Ayinde Balogun created Fuji, infact, Barrister was Fuji during his life and time. It was a big mistake for K1 to say Barrister was not the creator of Fuji. As a human, we are all bound to make mistake that was what happened to K1 in his attempt to analyse how Fuji music was created.

 

Barryshowkey, who is currently plying his trade in US said efforts are making to immortalise Barrister in a similar to  that of late Fela Anikulapo Kuti.

 

You would recall that in one of his albums, K1 who was recently crowned as  Mayegun of Yoruba land by Alaafin of Oyo, Oba Lamidi Adeyemi Atanda claimed that Fuji was emanated from Isale Eko. The Ijebu-Ode born Fuji act mentioned the names  likes  Jibowu Barrister, Saka Laigbade, Akande Monsuru as those who have played the music before it was rebranded by Sikiru Ayinde Barrister.
