THE LIJADU SISTERS

The Lijadu Sisters, Taiwo and Kehinde Lijadu [Age 70, October 22, 1948] are a set of identical twin sisters from Nigeria who were an important music duet from the mid-1960s to the 1980s.

They achieved success in Nigeria and had modest influence in the United States and Europe. They were notable for being a West African version of the Pointer Sisters who mixed Afrobeat sounds with jazz and disco, according to one source. Since the late 1980s, they retired from the music scene.
