In an iconic milestone for Fuji music, legendary musician Alhaji Wasiu Alabi Pasuma, known simply as Pasuma, will celebrate his 40th year on stage with a highly anticipated concert on November 15 in London and Manchester. This event is set to honor a career that has spanned four decades, during which Pasuma has become a cherished and influential figure in Nigerian music.
Pasuma, born on November 27, 1967, in Edunabon-Ife, Osun State, grew up in the vibrant Mushin area of Lagos. Inspired by his idol, K1 De Ultimate, Pasuma began writing songs in 1984 and released his debut album, Recognition, in 1993. Since then, he has produced over 30 albums and collaborated with prominent musicians, including King Sunny Ade and Bola Abimbola, cementing his legacy as one of Nigeria’s most successful Fuji musicians.
The 40th-anniversary concert will take place at Unit 7 Greenburn Center, Selinas Lane, Dagenham RM8 IQM, where fans can gather to celebrate Pasuma’s remarkable journey. This celebration not only commemorates his achievements but also highlights his influence in adapting Fuji music to evolving tastes—such as with his widely praised single Omo Ologo, released in 2022.
Pasuma’s career has seen numerous accolades, including Best Indigenous Artist at the Nigeria Entertainment Awards in 2015 and Best International Music Video by the Hollywood and African Prestigious Awards in 2021. His resilience and adaptability, especially with works like MMM during the COVID-19 pandemic, have ensured that Fuji music continues to resonate with both new and seasoned fans worldwide.
Join us on November 15 for this unforgettable evening honoring a true icon in Nigerian music!
