King Sunny Ade & His African Beats = King Sunny Ade & His African Beats

King Sunny Adé’s Aura is a vibrant fusion of Yoruba-rooted juju and early '80s electronic experimentation. It delivers hypnotic grooves, multilayered guitars, digital percussion elements, and international star power. Though its Westernization prompted mixed criticism—and even coincided with the end of his major-label run—it remains a uniquely bold chapter in Adé’s discography. For listeners chasing rhythmic innovation, rich cultural texture, and maximalist production, Aura is a compelling and spirited journey.
