The saying ‘once a legend, always a legend’ perfectly applies to the famous Nigerian singer Salawa Abeni, known as the Queen of Waka music, who has shown that she remains as relevant as ever.
Waka is an Islamic-influenced, traditional Yoruba music style popularised by Batile Alake, a prominent female singer who died in 2013. It is a much older genre than jùjú and fuji.
The Queen of Waka music demonstrated her relevance and awareness of the latest trends with her cover of singer Asake’s ‘Fuji Vibe,’ a track from his third album, ‘Lungu Boy,’ released in 2024.
Fuji Vibe is a well-crafted and enchanting song that showcases Asake’s exceptional talent and versatility. The song’s fusion of contemporary Afrobeats and traditional Fuji elements makes it a unique sound.
Salawa, a pioneer of Waka music, proved that legends never age with her soulful cover of ‘Fuji Vibe’ posted on her Instagram page Monday.
