After 25 years, the first time I heard this, it is still fresh. There are so many instruments involved here: there's such a smooth interaction between them....speeding it subtle up.... This real trance of marvellous Juju samba is taken me far away.
One of the GREATEST Juju tunes every written and performed! If you can not feel this song you are either the devil, have no soul, or are really superficial!
I think Island records attempted to do for juju music what they did with Bob Marley by making it more palatable for western taste. It still sounds like a stone groove baby.
i was brought up in Britain by yoruba parents, My grandmother was d one who told me listen to juju music. It is beautiful and i am happy i can spread d word to others. she also taught me some of d nija lingo.
@Kohntarkosz check out "Best of the Classic Years" on the Shanachie label. It's a great compilation spanning 1967-1974. It's more raw and unpolished and you'd especially like it if you feel (as I do) that Adé's '80s stuff sounds over-produced.
I know its African musics, but is it me or does this sound like Brazilian African music also?

I love this song. I am blessed to say I was there when it was recorded in London at Island studio.

Anyone got any of his 70's era albums? I would love to hear some of those, if they could be uploaded.
