God spare our lives, come March 3rd, 2017, the undisputable king of Fuji music, Alhaji Wasiu Ayinde Anifowose better known as K1 would be clocking the landmark age of 60. And being a massively popular musician, that attainment is surely going to call for a lot of fanfair from home and abroad. And while many people may still be in the process of figuring out how they would want to celebrate the Fuji icon in their unique ways, one of K1's disciples in the genre of classical Fuji seems to have made up his mind already. And he is no other than the very talented Alhaji Ramoni Akanni also known as RK1.
According to him while singing on stage on Friday, September 9th, 2016, at White House Hotel, Toyin Street, Ikeja, Lagos, where he was hosted by the ubiquitous City People Entertainment platform, he would be spearheading the production of a special birthday album which would be a collaboration with all the recognised Fuji artistes singing classical, a style created by K1. He reasoned that they all owed the Arabambi 1 a debt of huge gratitude and there would not be a better way to celebrate him at 60 other than in the tune of a Fuji style he created through which many, including himself, have become very successful in the industry.
He then went further to mention some names of K1 sing-alikes he could remember readily on stage whom he would be reaching out to soon for the project and that included: Kolade Onanuga (K2), David Ayinde, Ganiu Ayinde, S1, and a handful of other names. And he concluded that they would all be paying tribute of gratitude to the man who set the pace selflessly for them to follow in the industry.
