As with earlier albums, E DIDE weaves Yoruban drumming with elements from Nigerian folk songs, Western pop, Hawaiian music, even Latin American dance idioms.The opener, \"E Dide E Mujo\"--which translates as \"Get Up and Dance\"--establishes the warm, rhythmically insistent wave of sound that will wash over the listener through the album's 13 tracks. On \"Ope Oku,\" Ade's bright, relaxed lead vocals criss-cross in call-and-response patterns with a harmonically rich chorus and a host of talking drums. Delicate guitar motifs drift through the shimmering percussive cloud of \"Yoruba.\" Ade's songs evolve through free-flowing grooves built on interlocking guitar lines, synthesizer sounds, call-and-response vocals and a shifting thicket of talking drums, congas, bells, and rattles. E DIDE is King Sunny Ade's most significant major American release since his influential, widely acclaimed early '80s albums","brand":"Tis (Warner)","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53521161421142,"sku":null,"price":0.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0925\/5829\/5382\/files\/product_image_0075679264428_1_eab1a1da-1bc4-4294-a76b-ff8e790927a0.jpg?v=1778252569","url":"https:\/\/www.momoxbooks.com\/products\/ade-king-sunny-e-dide-get-up-0075679264428","provider":"momoxbooks","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
