King Sunny Adé (the King bit is surprisingly relevant, he was born into Nigerian royal family) brought African "Juju music" to the global masses with a record deal with Island in the 80s.
He was known for incorporating the pedal steel guitar to his sound after becoming a fan of American country-western music, but also began to use synthesisers and drum machines like on his album Synchro System.
