The Return of the Juju King is a compilation album by the Nigerian musician King Sunny Adé, released in 1987.[1][2] It was his first album after being dropped by Island Records.[3] Adé supported the album with a North American tour that featured a 15-member version of his band, the African Beats.[4][5]
The compilation collects tracks from several of Adé's Nigerian albums, which were released on his Atom Park label; Adé had formed a new version of his band to record them.[6][7][8] Most of the 17 tracks run together, producing five sections.[9] Adé emphasized the sound of a ukulele on many tracks.[10]
