“Bros was at home with his local weed until he was introduced to harder substances, a necessity in foreign studios meant to unleash the best in you, but backfired irretrievably with Bros. E pain me well well, because he still had a lot to give.”
to play the guitar, piano, flute and other musical instruments to become one of Africa’s greatest multi-instrumentalist. He played lead and rhythm guitar better than many rock artists. Drums, conga, acoustics was a way of life. Then passable keyboards and struggled with the horns. His voice, a musical instrument, was globally acclaimed.
The MAMSER shows and its outcome of the rains falling when he sang his blockbuster hit “Send Down the Rain” was a spiritual turning point for Majek. He came back to Lagos feeling like a real Jah messenger and attempted a gathering of Jah people, like a church with followers called Christ I-men. The experiment didn’t last long as Majek was soon to relocate to America having been discovered by an international label.
Majek reworked his music from the traditional Reggae beat as expressed in Send Down the Rain and Righteousness while in Nigeria to a more global Rock rhythm, the Afrocentric ‘Kpangolo’ reggae beat and conquered the world stage with hits like, Majek in New York, African Unity, So Long Too Long etc. I believe Majek Fajek talent is a gift from the almighty but his showmanship is the incredible work ethics of his generation. I don’t doubt the Olokun theory of endowment that was propagated at the height of his fame. Majek was too gifted. He wrote his songs, arranged them, took part in instrumentals, voiced them and assisted the producer. Ask Goddy Tabansi of Tabansi Records. Ask Dean Disi of Polygram or Aib Igiehon.
