Product Description
CD Description
Fear not--King Sunny is back, and he's got more proverbs and grooves coming direct from Nigeria to your spirit. Guitarist/vocalist Ade and The African Beats tear it up in their own mellow fashion on ODU. The album has the feel of a celebration, and in keeping with the contemporary Afro-pop tradition, it drops knowledge as it jams. Somehow the rhythm section, made up of several guitars, keyboards, drums and bass, is as fluid as it is mighty. The talking drum is used masterfully, its voice a meld of percussion and melody. West African-style slide licks and call-and-response guitar riffs pervadethroughout.
King Sunny has been called a "modern traditionalist", and it is an apt description of this man's musicalworld. To listen to these songs is to know a certain cultural timelessness, to absorb traditional Yoruba wisdom to the sound of the talking drum alongside the synthesiser. ODU is another jewel on the King's crown in the growing world of Afro-pop.
