Orlando Julius Aremu Olusanya Ekemode aka Orlando Julius was a Nigerian saxophonist, singer, songwriter, and bandleader closely associated with afrobeat music. He began experimenting with combining traditional music with horns, guitar, and American genres, a fusion which came to be known as afrobeat. He had his first hits with 1965's "Jagua Nana" and the 1966 album Super Afro Soul album featuring the classic hit "Mapami". In the 1970s, Julius moved to the United States, forming a band with Hugh Masekela and later working as a session musician before returning to Nigeria in 1984.
