    I need to get more involved with his music. I remember going to his concert years back in Brooklyn and being blown away like crazy specially with those talking drums and dancers.

    Thank-you so much for this Moos! A day with a new-to-me Sunny Ade album is always a great day…
    Must say, you kept this one very well-hidden up your sleave!

    Looking at Toshiya Endo’s Sunny Ade page, which seems to be pretty complete, this was released in 1977.

    And I think its a Sunny Ade and his African Beats release, before he was known as Kind Sunny Ade, and its name is Syncro (no “h”) Chapter 1.

    Moos, you are a complete star and I send you all the best to you and yours!

    Thanks, Moos. Nice balance to the hyper-caffeinated mbalax I listened to over the weekend.

    Hi Moos,

    Do not worry about Christian messages in African Music. African Christianity differs a lot from the European verslons. Do not hesitate to put records online with such messages. I am an atheist myself but shopping in Zimbabwean supermarkets with ‘when Jesus says yes,nobody can say no’ in the background made me realise that church is also entertainment for a lot of people. It is also great moment to socialise with your neighbours and a comfort in difficult times. Don’t forget that a lot of ladies who are on Saturday in the nightclubs enjoying the type of music you post, are in church on Sunday singing gospel and making it sound damn funky.
