King Sunny Ade, 'Bábá Mo Túndé'
It's been almost a decade since King Sunny Ade's last studio recording, and he delivers here. Ade remains the leading figure in Nigerian juju music: His intoxicating mix of Yoruba talking drums and traditional proverbs are matched with electric guitars, bass and keyboards, creating truly modern African music. Ade and his longtime producer decide here to present the same music heard in concert, with no compromises for Western media. The title song stretches over 31 minutes, and three others over 15; they include long percussion sections, guitar and keyboard solos and ever-changing vocal harmonies. With its complete liner notes and lyric translations, this double-disc set makes for both a fine introduction to Ade's music and a worthy addition for his fans.
