b"Ejeka jo from the Yoruba, meaning 'let us dance'. Nigerian Juju and it's musical antecedent, Appala, exist as a distincly Yoruba musical genre. Hypnotic percussion and intricate vocal poetry combine to tell a story of heavenly worship and earthly praise; Whether touting the virtues of the Gods, lineages of great kings, noble deeds of national heroes or simply praising the local deputy or minister. Spurred on by verse after verse and infectious, gently accelerating tempos, parties where Juju is played last from day into night and back into day. \\n\\n\\n\\n1.\\tEbenezer Obey - Operation Feed the World \\n\\n2.\\tKing Sunny Ade - Hit Parade\\n\\n3.\\tSegun Adewale - Yo Pop Music\\n\\n4.\\tOrlando Owoh - Unknown\\n\\n5.\\tKing Sunny Ade - Unknown\\n\\n6.\\tEbenezer Obey and His Nigeria Brothers - Side A\\n\\n7.\\tKing Sunny Ade - Unknown\\n\\n8.\\tSuberu Oni and his Ondo Juju Group - Unknown\\n\\n9.\\tEbenezer Obey - The Horse, The man, The sun\\t\\t\\n\\n10.\\tSunny Ade & His African Beats - Ja Fun Mi"
