Self-taught, greatly influenced by American jazz, he would be one of the founders of the Afro-beat sound. After working with Fela, he formed his own band in Lagos where he played until leaving for Europe in 1984. After a short spell in London, he moved to Paris where he continues to live and work. His solo work is one marked by a thirst for innovation and new sounds, ranging from dub to hip hop and electronic music.Tue, 07 Oct 2008 09:20:27 -0500http://tonyallen.calabashmusic.com/<img src='http://files.calabashmusic.com/images/54310/haruna_ishola_and_his_apala_group.jpg'>Tue, 07 Oct 2008 09:20:27 -0500http://harunaishola.calabashmusic.com/<img src='http://files.calabashmusic.com/images/32425/bantu.jpg'>Music with all the characteristic Fuji topics, rather explicitly dwelling on secular affairs, love's mysterious ways, lust and lubricity.
