Inexhaustible list indeed.

 

Here you will find Nigerian classics that cut across genres like Ewi, Highlife, Juju, Fuji, Apala, Waka, Sakara, Agidigbo, Akwete and the rest. The musical multicolor spectrum that makes Nigeria and indeed Africa the roots of music worldwide.

 

This is the only online music site that allows you to create your own play list and listen to ALL the songs on the list before you buy.

 

When you buy a song, certain percentage of the price goes to the copyright owner of the song. In other words you are helping in the preservation of our culture and support our artists and their families.

 

We update our collection every month. If you don’t see a song or an artist you want please let us know. We will continue to find and collect these great Nigerian classics for your enjoyment and more importantly preserve them forever.

 

1. This site is primarily created to honor and immortalize those Nigerian music legends, dead or alive, who contributed so much to our culture through their genius and dedication to Nigerian music.

 

2. To stress the importance of Nigerian indigenous music, the need to preserve it and it’s relevance and contributions to today’s widespread pop/rap culture in the country.

 

3. To showcase the talents of these great Nigerians through the internet to the entire world. For the rap artist in the USA to see that his/her act is a child of Ewi music and not born in Harlem.

 

4. To spur a new interest in indigenous music and encourage Nigerian aspiring musicians to see Juju, Fuji or Highlife as cool again.

 

 5. We know that music has always been the backbone of our culture since the beginning of time. We are a lost people if we loose our culture.
