The Nigeria Music Scene has always been a very vibrant one. That has always be the case, even before the Nigeria got her independence from Great Britain back in 1960.

It had an active social culture. Buoyed by her multicultural heritage, there has always been a democracy of verities sounds. As is to be expected, all the different tribes and ethnic groups have their peculiar styles of music.

As it is in other countries, Many of these genres of music are distinguished by the kind of instruments that are used to make them. For example, Highlife music requires Horns and Guitars, while Fuji Music requires Drums but it has been modernise by the likes of K1, Pasuma and the likes and some other musical elements has been added.

Nigeria Artist like Flavour and Runtown are currently propagating the gospel of highlife around the world even though it has been modified in several ways. Highlife is said to have originated from Ghana but it was popularised in Nigeria by artistes like Osita Osadebe, Victor Uwaifo, Victor Olaiya, among others. It still has mass appeal, and both the young and old find pleasure in moving to its rhythm.

It must however be noted that many of these genres of music have evolved over time, and successive generations have left their different imprimaturs on them, so much that some of them now sound differently from what they used to be. The kind of fuji music that can be heard on the streets of Lagos today is different from what it used to sound like about 50 years ago. Fuji is now more sophisticated and diversified. It is also interesting to note that the origin of fuji can be traced back to the 1960s, which means that genre of music is about the same age with Nigeria. Some of the prominent proponents of fuji making waves today are K1 de Ultimate, Pasuma, Saheed Osupa, Adewale Ayuba, Obesere. However, some of the new generation music artistes, such as Olamide, Wizkid, 9ice, Reekado Banks, among others, borrow heavily from fuji.
