King Sunny Adé

King Sunny Adé

The King of Ju Ju music from Nigeria; King Sunny Adé was playing tonight at the Musical Instrument Museum. I’d first encountered his music back in the early 1980s in Los Angeles as somehow he became rather well known in the punk rock circles of L.A. at the time. That it took me more than 30 years to finally see him is as bad as the 30 years between learning of Kronos Quartet and finally seeing them here at the same venue. The diversity of acts that perform at the MIM is extraordinary and I cannot praise their booking department more for their fantastic efforts.
