Nigeria's legendary King Sunny Ade recently announced plans for his Spring 2010 tour of the U.S.

The tour kicks off on April 6th in Atlanta and hits over 25 American cities, including stops at the New Orleans Jazz and Heritage Festival and Philadelphia's World Cafe Live.

For the uninitiated, King Sunny Ade is one of the true giants of African pop; a pioneer of the vaguely psychedelic, guitar-driven sound know as juju, that he's been playing with his band The African Beats since the 1970s.

Though KSA - as he's known to his fans at home in Nigeria - has toured the U.S. frequently over the course of his long and storied career, it's always an event when comes to town.

Don't miss it!
