King Sunny Ade
Afro Juju maestro, King Sunny Ade is 69 years
today. A two time Grammy’s Award nominee is
being celebrated by his teeming fans on social
media, especially the facebook.
Born Sunday Adeniyi, 22 September 1946, Sunny
is a Nigerian musician, singer-songwriter, multi-
instrumentalist, and a pioneer of modern world
music. He has been classed as one of the most
influential musicians of all time.
Adé was born to a Nigerian royal family in Ondo,
thus making him an Omoba of the Yoruba
people. His father was a church organist, while
his mother was a trader. Adé left grammar
school in Ondo under the pretense of going to
the University of Lagos. There, in Lagos, his
mercurial musical career started.
Sunny Adé's musical sound has evolved from
the early days.
His career began with Moses Olaiya's Federal
Rhythm Dandies, a highlife band. He left to form
a new band, The Green Spots, in 1967. Over the
years, for various reasons ranging from
changes in his music to business concerns,
Sunny Adé's band changed its name several
times, first to African Beats and then to Golden
Mercury. |
