Calling Dr Wu.
Until then let me say King Sunny Ade, including his 80s crossover lps.
One thing I know about juju; the melody is on the talking drums.
I also like Ebenezer Obey and Dele Abiodun. There are a million lesser known juju artists to pursue once you get your feet wet. To learn more, check DJ Kalil's site for a tremendous selection of juju podcasts (the Ejeka Jo series) as well as killer afro-latin, african rhumba, afro-beat, highlife and other treats. You can literally spends days checking his stuff out DJ Kalil blows your mind. The best discography for juju releases can be found here.
I hope this is helpful.
Juju is on the right, he's in a group called the Beatnuts, they created many a fresh jam.
