Afro-Juju is a music genre that originated in Nigeria during the late 1980s, blending traditional African rhythms with modern pop and jazz influences. It was popularized by the musician Sir Victor Uwaifo, who combined elements of juju music with contemporary sounds, creating a vibrant and danceable style that appealed to a wide audience. The genre is characterized by its use of electric guitars, synthesizers, and percussion instruments, often featuring call-and-response vocals. Afro-Juju reflects the cultural diversity of Nigeria and has influenced various artists, contributing to the evolution of Nigerian pop music and the broader Afrobeats movement.
