Talazo Fuji Music Party! CD Daniel Blumberg 10 You’re No Good –Back in Nigeria in 1995 everybody knew King Wasiu Ayinde Marshal I. Just about every house party and club floor, every shop front and car window, pulsed to such megahits as Talazo and Consolidation; to the percussion rich polyrhythms and Yoruba chants typical of Fuji music, a genre this one time roadie (for Fuji music icon Ayinde Barrister) had customised by adding more percussion congas, the sakara frame drum and an attitude straight off the street.
