King Sunny Ade was the spark that inspired what would become Afropop Worldwide. His 1982-83 American tour introduced countless listeners to African music through an intoxicating blend of traditional percussion, sophisticated guitar arrangements, and pedal steel—all elevated by graceful choreography and the Chairman's magnetic presence. In this definitive retrospective, we journey to Lagos to explore KSA's early years in the 60s-70s through conversations with key figures from that era. - https://mailchi.mp/afropop/the_king_of_juju

The women of West African music aren’t just carrying tradition—they’re transforming it.

In our latest newsletter, we spotlight the artists rewriting the region’s sonic legacy: from Fatoumata Diawara’s electrifying edge to Angélique Kidjo’s fearless reinvention of Talking Heads. Plus: a deep dive into Alsarah & the Nubatones, highlights from Babel Music Expo 2025, and a roundup of must-see shows coming to NYC. - https://mailchi.mp/afropop/where-did-rock-find-its-soul-the-answer-is-black-history-2688603
