    Aloma drops Bull Fuji Vibration

    AFTER emerging winner of the 2014 edition of the Bull Fuji Talent hunt, powered by Intercontinental Distillers Limited, 22 years old Idris Akanbi, aka Aloma, has released his album titled Bull Fuji Vibration

    According to the artiste, Bull Fuji Vibration is a smash hit that has ten sonorous, danceable tracks with themes on the Ebola disease outbreak, caution for Okada operators and a brief one for football fans. The piece, Aloma says, also features a collaboration between himself and Nurudeen Atanda, aka Antenna, winner of the first season of the show.

    In the words of Lanre Alabi, CEO of Kingsize Entertainment, the showbiz company that packaged the competition, Bull Fuji Talent hunt aims to adequately bridge the gap between budding talents and their dreams

    “Nigeria is highly blessed with talents, be it in music, sports or other sectors but with no platform to showcase their inborn gifts. As a result, Bull Brands stands as a bridge for them to discover, nurture and bring them to stardom. Bull Brands and Fuji music is a partnership that works and the beat goes on,” Alabi stated.

    In the competition that took place earlier in the year, Aloma beat 382 other contestants to emerge winner.

    It will be recalled that Antenna, the first ever winner of the competition, has won other Fuji talent competitions. He has also done a campaign promo audio CD for the governor of Osun State, Ogbeni Rauf Aregbesola this year titled Trailblazer.

    Kwam 1: 20 years after the Fuji crown

    FUJI music refiner, King Wasiu Ayinde Marshal, who on July 2, 1993 was crowned by the Nigeria Television Authority (NTA) Ibadan, as King of Fuji Music, is set to celebrate 20 years of that honour. The gesture to the Fuji icon, it would be recalled, was done by the management of NTA in collaboration with National Association of Promoters and Artistes Managers (NAPAM) through a consensus polls rating and ranking among several musicians listed for the kingship of Fuji music.

    Organising an anniversary celebration, friends and music buffs, led by Mr. Gbenga Olotu and Prince Femi Akinrinwa, have scheduled programmes of activities to celebrate the artiste. They say the events will kick-start with an interdenominational prayers at the artiste’s country home, in Ijebu-Ode, Ogun State and will be followed by musical shows to be held in Lagos, Ondo, Ogun, Oyo, Ekiti, Osun states and FCT Abuja.

    “Also, later in the year, the celebration will hold in Germany and London. Sponsors are daily pouring in and we are also discussing with artistes from all genres, most of whom have signified their intentions to participate,” Olotu stated.
