Listen to the last episode:

Young Sikiru Ayinde Balogun started out as a wéré singer. In 1966, he decided that he no longer wanted his music to be limited in its reach and he created Fuji from its wéré and ajísàrì roots. But before then, he had to learn the ropes, join the army and develop the genre's sound- all by himself.
