Tajudeen Adelaja a.k.a. Taj-Mahal, veteran musician and one of the foremost acts of O Wa N’be and Agidigbo styles of Juju music, is now in the studio, working on his maiden album.

Adelaja told P.M.NEWS Entertainment Cafe in a chat that it took him so long to record an album because of the waning influence of the brand of music in social circles nowadays unlike in the past.

He lamented that people no longer patronise its practitioners and blamed the trend on the sudden invasion of Nigeria’s Juju music scene allegedly by gospel singers, who were hitherto singing as choristers in the church.

He, however, added that there are still die-hard lovers of the music genre, who against all odds, still encourage and support them. According to him, it was because of these people that he headed for the studio to produce an album which he hopes will be widely accepted when released.

When he is not on outside engagement, Taj-Mahal performs every Saturday at the Stadium Hotel in Surulere, Lagos, alongside Dr. Victor Abimbola Olaiya’s All Stars International Band as guest artiste.

Meanwhile, he has promised patrons, especially his fans of a superlative performance during tomorrow’s show, when he is expected to dish out some songs from his impending album.
