À propos de King Sunny Adé

King Sunny Adé is the Minister of Enjoyment, the man who took jùjú music to the world. With his African Beats band he layered shimmering guitars, pedal steel, and talking drums into a hypnotic, danceable sound. His early-1980s albums on Island Records made him the first Nigerian superstar on the international stage and earned him Grammy nominations.
