Just back from a South Africa music tour, Fuji musician Idris Adisa, popularly known as Love Idris, has said plans are ongoing to propagate Fuji music in other African regions.
Adisa who was in the country to launch his new album, ‘Advise’ and also to mark his 50th birthday, said that during his stay, South Africans showed enthusiasm and embraced Fuji music. He also said that contrary to some claims that love for the genre of music was ebbing, Fuji music was growing out of the confines of Nigeria.
“I must say it (Fuji) is a force to reckon with,” the musician, whose album, ‘Penicure,’ shot him into limelight in the 90s said.
“It is no more a Nigerian affairs but a global brand.
“My experience in South Africa showed the extent of the acceptability which I have equally promised to entrench by training those who are willing to play the brand of music.
“Just like I embraced Fuji when I saw people like Ayinde Barrister of blessed memory on television, the South Africans were marveled at what we gave them during the tour.”
Adisa however reiterated the need for government to tackle piracy as musicians can no longer meet basic needs because of the activities of pirates.
