Jùjú is a style of Nigerian popular music, derived from traditional Yoruba percussion. It evolved in the 1920s in urban clubs across the countries. The first jùjú recordings were by Tunde King and Ojoge Daniel from the 1920s.

Following World War II, electric instruments began to be included, and pioneering musicians like I. K. Dairo, King Sunny Ade and Ebenezer Obey made the genre the most popular in Nigeria, incorporating new influences like funk, reggae and Afrobeat and creating new subgenres like yo-pop. This music, unlike apala, sakara, and fuji, was not created by Muslim Yoruba, and is therefore secular. Ade was the first to include the pedal steel guitar, which had previously been used only in American country music.
