It is my dream to see fuji music at a bigger platform -Kwam 1

Popular music act, King Wasiu Ayinde Marshall said his upcoming concert tagged “K1 Live Unusual” will correct a lot of misconception about Fuji music. The concert which will feature top performers like Tuface and Olamide, will take place at the Eko Hotel and Suites on November 21. Kwam 1 said the purpose behind the concert was to present good music in a unique way, a music different from what Nigerian music lovers have seen in the past. He stated that the idea was not entirely new. “Although, some people started it, we are going to add more flavours to the fun. We call it unusual because there are lots of misconception about fuji music. Some people even said it’s the music of the touts, but these are absolutely false and untrue. The fact is, fuji music remains the leading and surviving indigenous music in Nigeria” he added. One of the ‘unusuals’ is that, for the first time, a fuji artiste is going to headline a show, that has leading Nigerian entertainers such as 2face, Lagbaja, Olamide, among others.” Kwam1 also spoke about the influence of fuji music on pop music. He said fuji music could not be isolated from other genres of music in Nigeria. “There is an element of fuji in every song you listened to nowadays. This goes to tell you the importance of fuji music,” he said. When asked if it was easy for the organizers to convince him to perform, he said: “No! Not at all. It’s our idea. It is my dream to see fuji music at a bigger platform.”
