Juju music maestro, King Sunny Ade (KSA), was on Wednesday inducted into the Hard Rock Cafe Music Memorabilia Collection.
The highpoint of the ceremony held in Oniru, Lagos was the donation of a fender guitar KSA purchased from highlife music legend, Victor Olaiya, over 30 years ago.
The autographed baby guitar was received by Sanjay Mahtani of Hard Rock Café group.
KSA therefore joins The Beatles, The Rolling Stones, Jimi Hendrix, Michael Jackson, Elvis Presley, Brian Wilson, Elton John and other legends in the Hard Rock Café collection.
The two-time Grammy nominee was presented with a special cap – one of five in existence – on behalf of Rotimi Akeredolu, the governor-elect of his home state of Ondo at the occasion.
Wednesday’s honour comes three weeks after the master guitarist was given a special recognition award at the All Africa Music Awards (AFRIMA) 2016.
It is part of activities marking his 70th birthday for which a grand concert tagged Sunny On Sunday is scheduled for December 11 at Federal Palace Hotel, Lagos.
