Description
Tony Allen has long been acknowledged as Africas finest kit drummer and one of the continents most influential musicians. Together with Fela Kuti with whom he played for 15 years Allen cocreated Afrobeat the hard driving, horns rich, funkinfused, politically insurrectionary style which became such a dominant force in African music and such an influence worldwide. Secret Agent, a majestic slice of hardcore roots Afrobeat, was Allens debut for World Circuit and his first release since he became a founder member of The Good The Bad and The Queen alongside Damon Albarn, Paul Simenon and Simon Tong. Tony Allen CD is available for home delivery from Vinyl Records London, only £9.99
