50 collaborations between Nigerian and foreign artistes



1) King Sunny Ade featuring Stevie Wonder – Ase (1984)

King Sunny Ade was very popular in Nigeria in the 1970s, but it was in the early 1980s that his popularity really blossomed worldwide. His 1982 album, Juju was well received in Europe and the United States and his 1983 album, Syncro System was nominated for a Grammy award in the “ethnic/traditional folk recording” category (at the 1984 Grammy awards), making him the first Nigerian to be nominated for a Grammy award (his 1998 album, Odu was also nominated for a Grammy award, making him the first Nigerian to be nominated twice).

He is one of two Nigerians on this list that also had brief Hollywood careers. His music was featured in the 1983 film Breathless, starring Richard Gere and the 1986 comedy One More Saturday Night and he acted in Robert Altman’s 1987comedy O.C. and Stiggs.

Sunny had a special place in my heart at this time. I was very ill c1984 and there was a radio beside my bed. They kept playing Gbeyo Gbeyo over and over and that song practically brought me back to life. Listening to that song in the place between sleep and wake is simply magical (or maybe it was just the drugs. Who knows?)

Stevie Wonder featured on the track Ase which is on Sunny’s 1984 album, Aura. He played the harmonica solo. His part was recorded at the Wonderland Studios in California. Sunny often played this song during his world tour (he toured Europe, North America, Japan, Australia, etc.) and I’ve included a video of him performing the song in Japan. First is a video of the album version of the song, then a video of the live performance in Japan.

I remember Ace...as a young child in the early 90s, the Ace album was what was jammed and danced to in parties, with songs of Chaka Demus and Pliers in the Bambam it's Murder album as well as Sunny Ade's album: Sweet Banana (Sunny loni ariya, Olomoge majo, etc. with some kind of funny dances moves which the adults made), all on vinyl.
Thanks for bringing back the sweet memories sir.
