This is a 1986 album by King Sunny Ade, the quintessential super-artist representing Juju music from Nigeria. Following the global recognition he gained through the World Music movement with albums like Synchro System and Aura, this work was recorded in his home country of Nigeria. Leading his newly formed group, The Golden Mercury of Africa, and incorporating the use of the DX-7 synthesizer, he delivers a masterpiece of tropical, groovy, high-speed Juju music. The sound of the talking drum is absolutely exhilarating.
