Free Music Notes for Juju Music
Free Music Review: Lovely Mulitilayed Music.
Hit: 4 Stars
Everything is multi layered in King Sunny Ade's juju music. Meshed guitar riffs, horn lines and drums add up to a prismatic funk behind Mr. Ade's gently determined voice; even his lyrics are layered with comments from talking drums. His band is an orchestra, a party, a dance contest, and one of the finest ensembles in any form of music. This CD is one of his finest. To get a better feel of Sunny Ade, check out www.ariyaspot.com, where one can buy his live play recordings from as early as 1970 before he hit the International Music scene. KSA 9022 Mama Koko, is a favorite, I ordered from Ebay.
Juju Music Poster
Quite possibly the most beautiful and influential West African record ever released internationally, Juju Music remains a revelation. With a phalanx of electric guitars that functions like a percussion section, and talking drums that sound like a gossipy Greek chorus, Nigerian juju star King Sunny Ade and His African Beats, all 20 of them, proved that African music could be as complex, dramatic, and symphonic as any European ensemble. Some thanks must go to French producer Martin Meissonier, who took the basic elements of Ade's sound--unison guitars, Yoruban drumming, seamless song medleys, and self-reflexive lyrics--and added a diverse assortment of Jamaican production techniques to heighten, deepen, and psychedelicize a sound that, with Ade's deliciously sweet vocals and the haunting strains of Demala Adepoju's Hawaiian steel guitar, was plenty wild to begin with. A masterpiece. --Richard GehrInternational Music CDs
