Tony Allen
Tony Allen is best known as the drummer for Nigerian iconoclast Fela Anikulapo-Kuti’s band. Together they created the powerful revolutionary music- Afro-Beat that sprang out of southern Nigeria in the late 60’s. It’s been a long journey from Tony’s early beginnings in Yorouba land, Nigeria, where he soaked in Ebo rhythms, to the European and North American studios, clubs and concert halls. Still, Allen is committed to keeping the Afrobeat fires burning, working with his band, Afrobeat 2000 as well as collaborating with a talented new generation of musicians to renew Afrobeat ...
