Шаблон:Infobox album Aura is a studio album by the Nigerian jùjú musician King Sunny Adé, released in 1984.[1][2] It is credited to King Sunny Adé and His African Beats.

Unlike Adé's previous two Mango Records albums, Aura did not make the Billboard 200.[3] Mango dropped Adé after its release, and Adé broke up His African Beats.[4][5]

Production

The album was produced by Martin Meissonnier.[6] Stevie Wonder contributed harmonica to "Ase".[7] Aura employed five guitarists and six drummers, including Tony Allen.[8][9]

Critical reception

Шаблон:Album ratings Trouser Press thought that "the rhythm tracks are almost pure beatbox in style... The vocal harmonies in [Adé's] work have a distinctive Latin feel."[10] The Philadelphia Inquirer called the album "subtly hypnotic, captivating," writing that "layer over layer of intricate rhythm is combined with swerving melodies, skirling guitar parts and the call-and-response chanting that is the heart of 'juju' music."[11] Jon Pareles, of The New York Times, listed Aura at number two on his list of the 10 best albums of 1984.[12]

AllMusic wrote that "once again, Adé and a battery of guitarists are particularly impressive, laying down a wealth of nicely integrated solos; as with earlier Adé recordings, the pedal steel work is especially stunning."[13] Mojo deemed the album "even groovier" than Synchro System.[14] Miami New Times argued that, "because Aura's cutting-edge songs blended poorly with its more traditional Yoruban-based pieces, it ended up sounding more foreign than his other American LPs."[15]
