Majek Fashek inna New York

- I will never forget the day we shot this video. It was the last video I ever made with my partner, Stafford Ashani (R.I.P), with the great Majek Fashek (R.I.P) and it includes shots of the World Trade Center (R.I.P). Even King Pago is now resting in peace.
The shoot was a grueling experience for me, although everyone else was having great fun. It was a big challenge to shoot everything in one day and make it down to the Liberty Island Ferry before we lost daylight. "Come on people--we have to move!" As the producer, I was under great duress for a number of reasons, and I will never forget Majek's sensitivity during the shoot. At one point in that high stress day, after we'd finished a scene, he called me, "Diane, come here. You are riding with me", and he insisted I get in his car to take a breather while he drove the two of us to the next location. "Are you alright? Relax for a few minutes." People seem to remember Majek for his troubles, but I will always remember him for his kindness and joy.
I hope this video will remind people of what a delightful and prophetic artist Majek was and of how lucky we were to have him with us on our journey.
Exteriors shot on location in NYC in 1991..some gone and others changed now in 2021: the UN, 72nd & Broadway, Times Square, Central Park/Columbus Circle, and of course, the Liberty Island ferry :(. The concert was filmed at Kilimanjaro, NYC, in November, 1990.
My heartfelt thanks to everyone who participated in the making of this video and to everyone who loves Majek Fashek. - เพลง

Very handsome man. He sounds like Bob Marley. Rest in peace Legend.
One of the great artist in Nigeria hestoy
He really was a handsome man. Drugs are evil.
Even in death he still remains my favourite Nigerian musician, I remembered when I was small I use to watch this music in 1991 after Delta state was created from the old Bendel, he was a talented musician.
For real I play it every day till ds moni
Just the same way my brother and I loved to vibe to this on TV back then in the 90s. 😅😂
Me too what a beautiful memory...
Nigeria talented musician.
Thanks to New York, Diana Strong and all that contributed to your success for the opportunity
to speak for the poor. New York saw what needs to be fixed globally irrespective of your place of birth if you send the right message. Your ability to send the message effectively on time will keep this music alive. many years to come. Always remember that this message is not about New York. It is a global problem. Poorverty and creativity came from the same line of birth but one is higher than the other. After all life is short. One hundred years is not forever. I will support this video for a long time. Always remwmber, dive deeoer.
My favorite musician of all time. Rest on Majek! You are missed.
May his soul rest in peace...one of my best songs alongside holy spirit.
Holy my best ever.
same here!
I can't go a day without listening to "Holy Spirit, So long and Send down the rain". 😭
@@fisayooyekole2151 I also love so long. May his soul rest in peace.
Can u imagine the beauty of America 🇺🇸 then and the beauty of Nigeria 🇳🇬 now... what a country
Blame your leaders
This brought tears to my eyes. He was such an amazing Artist. RIP Majek Fashek.
Did anyone hear him say inna Lasgidi stylee.
Wow Wow Wow! So the word Lasgidi which most people use to refer to Lagos State Nigeria has been in existence in the 80s or 90s.
Hahahahaha REST IN PEACE MAJEK
This is 2022 and am still enjoying his song
Thanks for the extra info.!
Exactly...heard it at the end of the song...
Lasgid has been used since the early 80s or perhaps the late 70s when Lagos was at the height of its glory and fun days
Yes, the term lasgidi its an old terminology but the young ones think it started a few years ago
I remember when this video was shown on BENDEL BROADCASTING SERVICE in 1991, mehn thats when i n my brothers started dreaming of coming to EUROPE AND AMERICA.
Hope you still made the trip
Me too, that was when I became glued to new york until I landed here in 1995

I best song in my childhood days.I still play it,so much memories about majek but no Nigerian remembers his day like marley's day or night.One of the greatest in the world.RIP Legend.
Remembered seeing him while growing up as a kid In Festac town many years ago...RIP BABA....😢😢😢😢😢😢
That's my cousin Maje, rest on brother, smooth sailing ⛵️
He is my mum cousin also, I think we are the same family 😊
Wat a performer he was! I'm glad you came in my generation 💕
This brings great tears to my eyes....majek was a gem....so handsome...so talented....a mad guitarist....Benin city breed .... Nigerian breed....Rest on prisoner of conscience!...rest on....watching in 2022
I agree
Gideon go and do your finding majek fasek from ILESHA not BENINCITY
@@sundayajewole3041 he grew up in Benin city....he relates more with the Bini tribe than he does ilesha...I have never heard majek sing in Yoruba before ..but he sings in Benin...He was ones in late Ambassador Osayomore Joseph's band in the 80s briefly I think.....ask majek he go tell you say him be Benin boy....so calm down
just passing by 2021 looking for cool music then i saw this great legend...... what a lost, i which every thing last forever.......Jah knows best
I so love the words at the end. Divine peace to Majek’s beautiful soul. 🙏🏾💛
Majeks beautiful voice recorder your voice
Legendary Majek, thanks for the memories in Benin city those years. Keep resting well! 💙
I love his music still listening and it's Nov 2020
You will live forever and ever love all your song.
Majek Fashek. greatest of all. pure talent. composed this song in a couple of minutes. real sound. evergreen.
Great musician
How did u know he composed it in a couple of minutes?
Majeks fashek a good music songs good 👍 you are bless my brother majeks o my God bless in Jesus mighty Africa 🙏🙌
After this song his problems started in America, continue to rest legend.
That's correct, Americans contributed on what killed him. hmmmm rip Elewon
@@busykerry179
So it is Americans that made him take hard drugs(Igbo, marijuana) do food ni
Care to elaborate?
@@iyareimade400 think deep
@@skybench100 It wasn't Igbo. He went into deep spiritual nonsense, new age rubbish, and saw more than his eyes could carry. He wanted to have worldwide fame. His cousin said everything.
Ohhh. After many years,Still gives me same feelings
Great people never dies a child that will be born un the nxt 50yrs will still talk about majek rest easy sir
you the best, please give us more of majek fashek videos.
Well do my best. It may take a little time. please have patience.
Thank you for uploading this video, I've been searching TH-cam for this exact video for years.
RIP Majek Fashek.
Watching this December 2022 with tears rolling down my cheeks. I fear we are losing all the good people and good things in this country. Please God Almighty, heal this country, Nigeria
So sorry. It's a universal feeling.
GREAT ART. LIVE ON MAJEK
One of the greatest of our time. rest in peace bro.
THIS SONG IS GOLD
Thank you... I have been looking for this video ❤️❤️❤️Rest in peace majek.
Why were you searching for it.
Extremely handsome. I so much love him as a kid.
Rest in Power Majek Fashek. Thanks for all the good music and good memories that you gave us.
The finest voice, so much energy, America did Majek wrong, Awesome video, Good memories RIP Stafford and Majek
Do you know what it means to compete with Michael Jackson on Bill Boards in America and the world at large? Majek pulled that stunt because He was a raw talent. I hardly see this quality of Music mastery in our generation. Na only breats we sabi
Thanks alot step lively for keeping wonderful memories of Majek fashek. You're blessed
God bless you for putting this up! Rest in peace king
Total, effervescent, brilliance1
Fake Fela here, if you don't go away now and stop playing😡
@@vietcong1001 that channel is by his family. Can't you see it is verified?. Don't be too quick to judge.
Majek live long.You had delivered your message to the world .You have fought enough .Rest on !
My Favourite Tune from Majek Fashek. Gone too Soon. May his Soul continue to Rest in Peace, Amen
He sound like Majek Fashek not Bob.. his name is enough for him. He is an icon. Respect Baba Majek..
Thank you....Never get tired of seeing this great video, his music or re-living this time (1990-91), as we saw Prisoners of Conscience a few times in NYC: Kilamanjaro, 2x back-to-back around Thanksgiving time '91 i think, @ Wetlands, and some other place (Indigo Blues?). All were 110%...Blessings....
Yes, Carol. Looks like we were in the same places at the same time. Blessings to you.
I’m so much in love with this song.
R I o Legend
So handsome. He sounds like Bob Marley and looks like Johnny Depp
Well, I don't see the resemblance to Depp or Marley, but it's all in the eyes of the beholder. Majek was an original.
RIP LEGEND
Rip LEGEND
Rest in peace my favourite of all time.
Agree with you one hug from Brazil
God gave the gift of music to Make. A composer and musician in a body

He came to restore New York! The city claimed him!!!!!

Too bad, he lost it after this song

I remember seeing Majek with Jimmy Cliff..I think??? Early 90s. Phenomenal of course.
Yes, 1992. He opened for Jimmy. This is a clip from that tour. th-cam.com/video/D5SXqOawJEY/w-d-xo.html
Seeing this song for the first time from a Twitter link. Great piece
Thanks a lot for bringing this back.
Wow I get to know about Majek Fashek in the year 2022 but I could recall I've watched his music video (So long) frim television when I was a kid, so I came here and search for his name and saw this video, what a handsome, talented singer who died from oesophagus cancer on 1st June 2021. 😭
Beautiful song ! Freestyle ambiance
Always showing the truth to the people ✊
One Love 💕 to world 🌎 one Love my brother Africa EOD

God bless who uploaded this video 💜💜💜
Give thanks. Was a pleasure and an honor to work with Majek.
Hello, please can we get the full video of majek fashek when he spoke about the conscious people and how he was the spokesperson for the oppressed in Nigeria? Thanks alot
2022 still here ...love u
Rest on legend. ✌
I remember when we used to watch this video 📹 on TV. My mother would call the long-haired white guy playing the flute "Jobless Man". That was harsh.
And inaccurate. How can one musician in a band be jobless?
Whi can see the the two twin trade centres that were brought down in 2001 which was 10 years after this song was made in 1991.
😂😂
This guy is handsome
Drug is baad
And when our children destroy people's lives and come back with the proceeds we hail them.
you are bless in Jesus Christ
I hope the kids are great
I’m proud of my mom… may she keep resting 🥹
🔥🔥🔥🔥
Respect ❤ 2023
RIP is legendary make
U are bless
