King Sunny Adé – Ajoo,Sunny Alade Records, 1983
From Nigeria we have here, King Sunny Adé and his African Beats,
this is Juju music, a laydback smooth type of African music with hummingtalkingdrums, steeley guitars and mellow voices. It’s incredible to hear
18 people play like ONE, beautiful. Ajoo was also released in a European
cut which is very different from this African release. One sidenote; The first
3 numbers are melted together as if they are one, it was very difficult to
cut it into 3 numbers, considering the fact I don’t understand a word they
sing here, I am SURE I cut them completely wrong, please forgive me.
tracks;
1 Ajo ni mo re
2 Pegan pegan
3 Oluwa lagboju le
4 Gbeyo gbeyo
5 Penkele
6 Ewele
7 Tolongo

Thanks. I haven’t yet digitized my copy of this!
Thanks! I had this a long time ago on vinyl. This LP always seemed like a bookend to the Island Syncro LP. IMO, tracks Ewele through Penkele are especially freaking awesome!
PLS PLS PLS kindly put back all the king sunny ade link PLS, most of them are all deleted.
Track one cuts off before end
Can you please re-upload this album without the nasty track cuts between 1-2-3? Thanks in advance.
