General Prince Adekunle (1942-2017) was a Nigerian Jùjú musician. Born 22 October 1942, Adekunle was of Egba origin, from Abeokuta in Ogun State. Adekunle was a major innovator and force in the jùjú music scene, with his distinctive driving Afrobeat style. Famous musicians such as Sir Shina Peters and Segun Adewale started their careers playing with his band, the Western Brothers.[1] Although he toured in England in the early 1970s, he did not become well known outside Nigeria.[2]
