About Kollington Ayinla

Kollington Ayinla is one of the founding giants of fújì music, the great rival to Sikiru Ayinde Barrister in the genre's golden age. A former soldier with a booming voice, he helped shape fújì's sound and pushed it into new territory by adding the bata drum and other instruments. For decades he and Barrister defined what fújì could be.
