Juju Genre Has A Prospective Future In Nigeria – Wale Thompson
Retired juju entertainer Wale Thompson is optimistic about the genre’s future, saying that more and more up-and-coming musicians will look to juju music for inspiration. In an interview with Sunday Scoop, he stated that “music is always changing.”
Juju music is, in my opinion, the most in-demand genre that upcoming artists will want to explore and sample from. Juju music will begin to seep into the sounds of other genres.
By showcasing the exceptional abilities in this field and introducing the younger generation to the juju sound, juju music may continue to be relevant. The use of wholesome narratives is likewise crucial, as it has always been.
Thompson expressed his views on the topic of young musicians working with senior musicians, saying, “It’s exciting to see young Nigerian musicians working with veteran musicians, just like it has always been.”
It feels amazing to combine fresh and old sounds to make music. It benefits the two generations equally.
In the first place, it helps the new generation become more creative and credible, and it helps the elder generation reach a wider audience and leave a lasting musical legacy.
The Lalale Friday singer advised performers to take use of live bands, saying that doing so would give their songs a more vibrant quality.
