A Fuji alcbum. Nothing to do with Japanese cameras or Lauren Hill; Fuji is one of the most popular styles of Nigerian music, sounding sort of like Hi-Life with caffeine added. Here we have a collection of straight-down-the-line exhortions to praise and worship, along with medleys of some popular Nigerian choruses which have been translated from Yoruba into English. Temitayo, the man responsible for this, is a bit of an al-eounder; he also acts and occasionally teaches. He comes across better live than he does here, though; the energy of his performance and Fuji music itself doesn't really come through on this.
