Philadelphia Inquirer, Concert Preview >>
With Afropop steadily seeping into the percolating guitar licks and hiccupped drums of acclaimed indie rock bands like Vampire Weekend and Dirty Projectors, perhaps the newest generation of listeners will be inspired to look beyond Brooklyn for musical innovation. They needn't look far to notice King Sunny Adé, the iconic singer-guitarist who introduced the world at large to Nigerian juju music in the early '80s. Never a purist, Adé incorporated funk and reggae into his music, as well as more diverse instrumentation, splashing brilliant hues across relaxed tracks often stretching more than seven minutes. This Camden appearance is a rare treat, and a chance for newcomers to bask in the meditative joys of a true pioneer.
King Sunny Adé plays at 8 p.m. Tuesday at Wiggins Waterfront Park, Mickle Boulevard, Camden. Free. Phone: 856-216-2170. 07/10/09 >> go there
