About me / Bio:
Ayinde Bakare was a pioneering Yoruba jùjú and highlife musician in Nigeria. He started his musical career in the 1930s as an apprentice to Tunde King, one of the early juju exponents. He formed his own band, Meranda, which became one of the most popular juju bands in the 1950s and 1960s. He was the first juju musician to use an amplified guitar, in 1949, and he established the mainstream style of juju music after World War II. He was also known for his praise songs for prominent Yoruba socialites and his fusion of juju and highlife genres. He toured Britain in 1957 and recorded several albums for Melodisc Records. He died in 1972 at the age of 60 and was nicknamed "Mr Juju".
