This album was released in 1985 by King Sunny Ade, one of the leading artists of Juju music in Nigeria, Africa. This was the first album by under the name of The Golden Mercury of Africa, replacing His African Beats, which he had led the previous year. The album is a mid-period masterpiece, with danceable tracks that boldly introduce the sound of digital synthesizers, the bouncy beat of the traditional Yoruba talking drum, and Sunny Ade's quintessential flowing electric guitar, matched with his charming vocals.
