Happy Birthday King Sunny Ade!
If you are familiar with songs like “Ja Funmi”, “Mo Ti Mo” and “The Merciful God”, this may be the perfect distraction you need.
For those who don’t know these tunes, here’s a brief introduction of the legend behind them.
Sunday Adéniyi, popularly known as King Sunny Ade, 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.
The legend turned 70 today and celebrated in the midst of friends and family at his church in his Ondo home town on Wednesday.
He looked healthy and thankful. See for yourself…
We are happy to celebrate a legend who inspired and lifted our souls.
