Who's the boss?

King Sunny Ade - a.k.a. the Minister of Enjoyment and The Chairman - is a giant of African music. More than a few big players have graced the Black Sheep Stage, but he may be the biggest. He's been around for some time, and is probably one of the first big "world music" star. He's also released a ton of records. While he's not Acid Mothers Temple, he's still managed to pump out about 125 records since getting his start in the 1960s.

King Sunny Ade's crew were probably the best-dressed of the festival. Here's the congo player.



No shortage of percussionists, as is often the case with world music acts on the Black Sheep Stage.



Some Stratocaster-toting action.



Here's a few more band members ...



And the King himself!



Backup singer action!



Wavealong action! Ade's roly-poly accompanist certainly seemed to be enjoying himself.



Shaking action!





Some of the whole lot!



Circular dancing action!



Pass it along ...



Lots of fun, though I confess I did sneak off to see DeVotchKa again as their set came to a close.
