Nigerian veteran reggae music maestro, Majekodunmi Fasheke, popularly
known as ‘Majek Fashek’ has advised young Nigerian musicians on the
quality and sound of their songs.
Majek said he makes good sound but the likes of Davido, Wizkid, Olamide and others don’t make good sound, they just jam.
In a recent interview with HIPTV, Majek claimed there is a cut clear
difference between the quality of sound and music he makes and that of
young artistes.
“I make sound while all these young musicians make jam, I make good
sound but they are always jamming, they don’t make good sound, they just
jam. My song ‘Send down the rain’ was made over thirty years ago, but
if you listen to it today, you will realize that the sound will appeal
to both the old and equally the young ones because the sound is good and
still relevant today, that is something the young musicians don’t
have.”
Majek also said his was a simple advice and wasn’t meant to underrate
or slight young artistes, but a fatherly encouragement to improve on
their craft by doing good sounds that will remain evergreen.
“I didn’t mean to insult, underrate, slight or demean any young
Nigerian artiste; what I did was to state the obvious. The truth is
Wizkid, Olamide, Davido, and many other young Nigerian artistes are
doing good music but they just need to improve on their sound for the
better; I meant no form of insult”, he said.
