About Me

ekabo eyin eyan mi e ma gbadun THIS IS A FAN SITE FOR SHINA PETERS AND IS NOT CHECKED OR UPDATED BY SHINA PETERS HIMSELF Sir Shina Peters is a Nigerian Jùjú musician. Born Oluwashina Akanbi Peters on 30th May, 1958 in Ogun State, he invented Afro-juju in the late 1980s from Juju music. His immensely popular 1989 release Ace (Afro-Juju Series 1) thrust him back into the limelight after disappearing for some time.In1989, "Shinamania" swept Nigeria as young music fans rushed to buy "Sir" Shina Peters' electrifying debut album Afro-Juju Series 1. What Shina had to offer was a powerful fusion of juju, Afro-Beat, and intense Fuji-style percussion, and people were more than eager to snap it up. Shina was awarded Juju Musician of the Year, made a video, and toured the States. His follow-up album broke new ground in its use of synthesizers to complement the Fuji drumming, but was widely criticized in Nigeria and Shinamania died down.DiscographyAlbums Reunion (1997) My Child (1994) Mr. President (1993) Experience (1992) Dancing Time (1991) Shinamania (1990) Afro-Juju 1 (1989) Profile Layouts | Get a free LED scroller for your site Get your own free Nigerian flag layout at blipsy.com
