5.0 out of 5 stars
a work of genius, March 30, 2000
By A Customer
This review is from: E Dide (Audio CD)
At first listen, this music is intriguing, interesting, quietly exciting. But the more you listen, as the songs become familiar, the better it gets. The quiet, gentle, good-natured, understated voices; the intricate pulsing drum and guitar rhythms; the memorable melody fragments, sometimes in the voices, sometimes in the drums, sometimes in the guitars -- this is great stuff. I've played this in my car hundreds of times by now, and I'm not the least bit tired of it. It keeps its freshness. Instead of thinking of it as a string of songs, I regard it as a kind of exotic jazz symphony, though more original than practically any jazz I've ever heard.

It doesn't get much better than this, October 10, 2008
This review is from: E Dide (Audio CD)
This cd has possibly the most beautiful music ever composed in the form of a song called "Yoruba". I have been a King Sunny Ade fan for years, and every cd opens up new beauty for me. I love the syncopation, rhythm, gently voices, and the foreign sound of the words. I cannot recommend this cd highly enough, listen to a couple of cuts, and fall in love.
