It was Tony Allen and his old friend Fela Kuti who first created afro-beat; a musical style that inspired political insurrection through funk and dance. After spending 15 years with Fela’s band Tony Allen went on to showcase his own work which featured influences from Hip Hop to Dub.
As one of the most dynamic players of the drumset, his ability to play four rhythms at once will leave you stunned and his relaxed manner will only add to the impressiveness.
