Veteran juju singer, Wale Thompson, has expressed confidence in the future of the music genre, stating that young artistes will increasingly turn to juju music for inspiration.
Speaking in an interview with Sunday Scoop, he said, “Music always evolves. I see juju music being the most sought after genre young artistes will love to sample from and experiment with. Other genres will start to infuse elements of juju music into their sound.
“Juju music can remain relevant by shining the spotlight on the unique talents in this space, and introducing the new generation to the juju sound. It is also important to drive it with healthy narratives, just like it has always been.”
Sharing his thoughts about young artistes collaborating with veterans, Thompson said, “It’s exciting to see young Nigerian artistes collaborating with veteran musicians, just like it has always been. Blending old and new sounds to create music always feels great. It has a positive impact on both generations. First, it helps the younger generation to expand their creativity and gain more credibility, while it helps the older generation to extend their music to the younger audience and cement their music legacy..
Advising artistes to perform with live bands, the Lalale Friday singer said, “It is important for artistes to perform with live bands because that gives more life to their music. It also gives the audience a different experience of the music compared to what they listen to on digital music platforms.”
