Tunde Nightingale, a.k.a., "Western" is a Nigerian musician best known for the juju music style.

Nightingale was born in Ibadan in the late-1940s. His contemporaries included I. K. Dairo and Dele Ojo. Nightingale was credited with the Owambe system, popular among Lagos socialites, who sponsored him on a tour abroad. When he returned, he signed with the TYC label and recorded over 40 albums in his career. Modern stars like King Sunny Ade continue to be influenced by his style. He once kept a nightingale in his home.
