Under My Skin Big Girl Happy to Be Alive Anikewa ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ Critics rave about this amazing band: "Like an oldtime revival rolling into town, rythm goddesses Pele Juju are returning to Eugene's WOW Hall. Pele Juju shows at the hall have turned into jam-packed danceathons with the band & audience bouncing, churning & sweating for more than three hours to a fusion of African rhythms, ska, reggae, rock - you name it - that is powerfully uplifting. The shows have taken on an almost tribal, ritualistic feel." Kelly McIver - The Register-Guard - Eugene OR "Pele Juju give the still growing & evolving world-music genre a much needed female perspective. Billed as the "wild women of world beat", they easily back up the claim with a mixture of African, reggae & jazz rhythms, soaring harmonies and a stage show that veers into revival meeting fervor. With songs that all but glow with positive vibes and feel good lyrics, Pele Juju are a party band with brains, a dance music outfit whose roots are in ethnic traditions and a "girl-group" made up of grown women. A winning combination." Ernest Hardy - LA Weekly "Pele Juju received what was the biggest response of the entire weekend. Their magical set created such an explosive spectrum of sound that the ground literally shook from the force of dancing feet." (Relix Mag in reference to Pele Juju at High Sierra Music Fest) Pele Juju's self-released recordings garnered not only rave reviews from local and national publications but also sold well over 50,000 units, mostly at gigs. At home in Santa Cruz, "Pele Juju" was the #1 best seller in all categories of music even outselling Eric Clapton's new release at that time.
