The late musician was best known in Nigeria for the 1988 album, Prisoner of Conscience, which included the multiple award-winning single, Send Down the Rain.
Majek Fashek has worked with various artists worldwide, including Tracy Chapman, Jimmy Cliff, Michael Jackson, Snoop Dogg, and Beyoncé. Fashek's musical influences include Bob Marley - whom he resembles vocally - Jimi Hendrix, and Fela Kuti.
The reggae icon was one of the original Nigerian artistes to be drawn to the music of the Caribbean, specifically reggae, rather than indigenous hybrids such as fuji, jùjú, but was known to mix these genres into his own style which he called kpangolo.
