Now known internationally through the recordings of King Sunny Ade
and others, juju music originated more than fifty years ago among
the Yoruba of Nigeria. This history and ethnography of juju is the
first detailed account of the evolution and social significance of
a West African popular music. Enhanced with maps, color photographs
of musicians and dance parties, musical transcriptions, interviews
with musicians, and a glossary of Yoruba terms, Juju is an
invaluable contribution to scholarship and a boon to fans who want
to discover the roots of this vibrant music. "What's most
impressive about Juju is how much Waterman makes of his purism. By
concentrating on one long- lived, well-defined genre, he helps the
Western reader experience 'rock' the way any proud Yoruba would--as
a tributary of African music rather than vice versa."--Robert
Christgau, The Village Voice
