Nigerian saxophonist Orlando Julius passed away on April 14. He was 79 years old. Composer, saxophonist and singer, Orlando Julius contributed to the rise of Afro-beat in the 1960s and spent his career mixing musical influences from Africa and the United States, where he emigrated.
Raised from Highlifefollower of Afro-beat and pioneer of Afro-soul… Orlando Julius’ discography is a great mix of styles and rhythms.
Born in 1943 in Ikole, Ekiti State, in southwestern Nigeria, Orlando discovered music in the orchestra of his Anglican school. At 14, he left for Ibadan, where he met Jazz Romero, a great Highlife musician. This is where he learned his trade: drums, flute, clarinet, Orlando Julius plays everything until he concentrates on his famous alto saxophone. In Nigeria, he meets the greatest like James Brown, and trains the greatest like Fela Kuti.

Orlando Julius fell into oblivion until these hits were unearthed in the early 2000s by two French DJs from the Hot Casa records label.

anger of the fans of the star Wizkid, left empty-handed from the Grammy Awards

Nigerians are up in arms following a new consecration of the Beninese singer Angélique Kidjo at the Grammy Awards. The Scrapbook Mother Nature was awarded in the category “best overall music album”. Artists from Nigeria – including Afrobeats star Wizkid – were also nominated in this category. Despite his popularity, the latter left empty-handed in the category “best overall music performance”, angering his fans.
With our correspondent in Lagos, Liza Fabbian
In Nigeria, whether in clubs, restaurants or private parties, we hear above all and above all Nigerian music. The birthplace of Afropop is a giant in the cultural field, and many of its musical artists are successfully exported abroad.
Nigerian fans therefore took it very badly that superstar Wizkid left without any award at the last Grammy Awards ceremony, when he was nominated in two categories.
It was Angelique Kidjo who paid the price on the social network Instagram, where Nigerians poured out their bitterness en masse, to the point of forcing the Beninese star to close the comments under a photo of her holding the Grammy statuette.
Wizkid, who is filling stadiums in Britain, received support from supermodel Naomi Campbell on Tuesday morning. “ You are the KING for the people, the one who made AFROBEATS popular and that is worth more than any other reward “, she wrote on Instagram.
Music specialists prefer to recall that the more political themes and more African sounds of Angélique Kidjo’s album Mother Nature were more in line with what is expected by the Grammy Academy in the “overall music” category, than Wizkid’s RnB-tinged album.
