An iconic photograph immortalizes two legendary pioneers of Juju music in their early days—Chief Sunday Adeniyi Adegeye, famously known as King Sunny Ade, and Chief Dr. Ebenezer Remilekun Aremu Olasupo Obey Fabiyi, widely referred to as Ebenezer Obey.

This historic moment was captured during an event in Lagos in the 1970s, an era of success for both musicians as they shaped the future of Juju music. At the time, King Sunny Ade was known for his energetic stage presence and innovative blend of traditional sounds with electric guitar, while Ebenezer Obey was celebrated for his deep, philosophical lyrics and fusion of Juju with Yoruba folklore.

Together, they revolutionized Nigerian music, setting the stage for future generations. This rare photo represents a golden age of Juju music, as both men rose to international fame and helped export the rich cultural heritage of Nigeria to the world.
