Album Notes & Community Reviews

Following the international breakthrough of 'Juju Music', the Nigerian bandleader expanded his polyrhythmic sound with the introduction of synthesizers and subtle electronic processing. The record remains deeply rooted in traditional Yoruba talking drums and interlocking guitars, blending ancient rhythms with modern technology. It further solidified Ad茅's position as a global pioneer of worldbeat music.
