Music

King Sunny Adé With Afropop seeping into the percolating guitar licks and hiccupped drums of indie-rock bands such as Vampire Weekend and Dirty Projectors, perhaps the newest generation of listeners will be inspired to look beyond Brooklyn for musical innovation. They needn't look far to notice King Sunny Adé, the singer-guitarist who introduced the world to Nigerian juju music in the early '80s. Adé incorporated funk and reggae into his music, as well as more diverse instrumentation, splashing brilliant hues across relaxed tracks often stretching more than seven minutes. This Camden appearance is a rare treat, and a chance to bask in the joys of a true pioneer.
