CD DetailsSynopsis
Amazon.com's Best of 2000 Longtime fans of King Sunny Ade probably thought that the Nigerian star would never again reach the heights of his 1982 masterpiece, Juju Music. Perhaps Seven Degrees North isn't quite at that level, but if it's not, it's damn close. This is ebullient music that is able to combine complex rhythms and densely layered guitars and keyboards into a simple, appealing groove-heavy mix. --Marc Greilsamer Similarly Requested CDs

CD ReviewsThank you, Mr. Ade! Giulio Mario Rampelli | 06/30/2000 (5 out of 5 stars) "When Bob Marley died, someone thought King Sunny Ade could be his substitute, But King's music was too complex in rhithms and too far from north-western conception of music. Netherless, Juju Music was an incredible success not only in Africa, but also in Europe and United States. This was because mr. Ade is a great artist and Nigerian Juju reveals the soul of african music. Seven Degrees North, the new Ade's CD after Odu, is a new miliar stone. Over all the rhithm of Nigerian bass talking drum, the counterpoint of Ade's guitar, his voice alternated with the complex chorus line. Thank you Mr. Ade, every new record is a lot of new emotions." Wow! Abbie L. Zintl | Illinois,USA | 06/21/2000 (5 out of 5 stars) "This CD is a must have! If you like up beat music with a twist of international, this one's for you." Excellent Ayodeji Olobatuyi | USA | 06/22/2000 (4 out of 5 stars) "Re-make of old Suny Ade songs. Brought back memories of days back in Nigeria. A great addition to anyone's collection."
