An encounter with electronic music by the master of Afrobeat
King Sunny Ade demonstrates a bold fusion of tradition and innovation.
This ambitious work introduced synthesizers and drum machines to Nigerian juju music, opening up new musical horizons. The complexity of African rhythms and the potential of electronic instruments combine to create a unique groove. This experimental work left an important mark on the world music scene of the 1980s.
