Who is Yanju?

Yanju is a Nigerian musician.

Iwa was well received by music critics upon its release.

The BBC's John Armstrong described IWA as "Theres far more to Nigerian music than Afro-beat,Juju and Highlife as Yanju proves on IWA

Chris Nickson of Global Riot idiot describes the IWA

"From Nigeria now in the U.K, Yanju mixes up West African, electronic and dance music in a splendid fashion. From the wonderful opening cut, with real tribal rhythm and vocals working over and around techno to slower cuts that are eerily reminiscent of Peter Gabriel this is a stunner of a disc. Yanju is splendidly inventive, a talent fully developed. Great disc. Chris Nickson"

Iwa were recorded and produced by Valery Proletarski. who also helped to bring the African Techno Concept to live.
