King Sunny Ade

This in from Edgar Saucepot at 7:54 AM


King Sunny Ade - 365 is my number / the Message


Certified jam. I've only listened to this one King Sunny Ade record so far, but he takes some of my favorite elements of Fela Kuti (notice this melody is really similar to Expensive Shit) and replaces the horns with spacey dub effects and poppy guitar picking.

    you should watch that Robert Altman movie "O.C. and Stiggs". It's a dumb movie, but oddly enough king sunny ade is a crucial part of the story and has some good music in it
