Yanju
Yanju is a Nigerian musician, noted for the album Iwa.
Yanju was born to middle-class parents.[1] He began composing as a child and studied Performing Arts at the University of Ilorin.[2] He was living in London and had been rejected by record companies in England when he conceived the album Iwa, a fusion of African music and techno elements, which was co-composed by his music producer, Valery Proletarski.[1] The BBC's John Armstrong described Iwa as "There's far more to Nigerian music than Afro-beat, Juju and Highlife as Yanju proves on Iwa."[3]
