A Opera Xpress to begin second season of Fuji podcast

A Opera Xpress is set to unveil the second season of its popular Fuji Podcast to the digital airways.

The Fuji Podcast is powered by A Opera, a multi-dimensional entertainment platform that deconstructs the enigmatic Fuji music genre and reimagines it for a new generation of music fans and culture enthusiasts.

It began in 2020, with the first stage held at the Alliance Francaise de Lagos/Mike Adenuga Centre in Lagos. The highlights of the event included: (i) an exhibition; (ii) an audience with KWAM 1, in collaboration with the Fuji Musicians Associations of Nigeria; and (iii) a live music showcase featuring two genre icons, King Saheed Osupa and King Wasiu Ayinde Marshall.

It has since then showcased Fuji music in various facets of culture, ranging from various concerts to Arts, with the goal of recruiting the younger music enthusiasts into the genre.

Last year saw the release of the first season of Fuji: A Opera Xpress, a podcast series hosted by Jide Taiwo, a reputable music journalist who had interesting conversations with Fuji musicians about their history, style, and music.

This year, Fuji: A Opera returns with the second season of Fuji: A Opera Xpress, which will feature fascinating conversations with Fuji legends, culture custodians, genre lovers, and new school artists who are infusing Fuji sounds into contemporary music, with the goal of putting these timeless conversations on a broad enough platform to recognize the significance of Fuji in the past, present, and future. The audio-visual podcast will be a 10-episode series that promises to be even better than the previous one.

The Fuji Podcast will be available on Apple Music, Apple Podcasts, Spotify, YouTube, Instagram, and Facebook, among other platforms.
