The gifted singer was the first Nigerian act to perform on the David Letterman show. No Nigerian singer has done this since then.
Majek’s classic record ‘Send down the rain’ released in 1987 has a strong place in the history books. Nigeria witnessed the highest amount of rainfall the same year. Blame it on coincidence or the potency of his singing powers but Majek Fashek became a legend after this.
Just like many talented musicians before and after him, Majek Fashek’s career has been plagued by drug abuse. Majek Fashek’s stardom fell in the early 90s because of heavy drug use.
