Long before King Sunny Adé took Juju to the world stage, a young man named Abdulrafiu Babatunde King was making history in the streets of Olowogbowo, Lagos. Picture this: A motor mechanic workshop in the 1920s. "Area boys" gathered after work, drinking palm wine and making music. Among them was Tunde King, born in 1910, strumming his guitar-banjo and creating something completely new. He took the Palm Wine music of his time—a blend of Yoruba folk, Brazilian, and Cuban sounds—and transformed it into something distinctly Yoruba that would define Nigerian music for generations. The story of how "Juju" got its name is pure Lagos street culture. King bought a tambourine from a Salvation Army store and gave it to his drummer. The guy started throwing it in the air and catching it during performances. The crowd loved it, shouting "Jù-jú!" (Yoruba for "throw"). The name stuck. In 1936, Tunde King made the first Juju recordings with Parlophone/EMI, releasing over 30 records on 78rpm shellac discs. Hits like "Oba Oyinbo" and "Dunia" became classics, with lyrics carrying sharp social commentary about colonial Lagos. The lineage is clear: Tunde King influenced Ayinde Bakare and Tunde Nightingale in the 1940s, who in turn influenced King Sunny Adé and Ebenezer Obey in the 1960s. Every Juju legend traces back to that mechanic shop in the 1920s. Tunde King died in the 1980s, but every time you hear Juju music, you're hearing his innovation. Next time someone mentions King Sunny Adé, remember: there was a King before the King.

THINK YORUBA FIRST
