Tony Allen plays drums on the Sébastien Tellier - La Ritournelle track above.
The Afrobeat revolution started in Lagos at the Nigerian Broadcasting Corporation in 1963 when Tony Allen met Fela Kuti. Allen was working as studio engineer at the time; Kuti had been hired as a disc jockey with his own jazz request programme. Together they made history...........Tony Allen died in Paris in April 2020

I didn't realise he had passed away - such a hugely influential drummer. I know people who've worked with him before, and actually they must have been working with him just before he died: I haven't seen them in a while but I shall have to ask them for details when I do. Thank you so much for sharing, this was exceptional. His record a few years ago for Blue Note has been on my listening list for a really long time, but I never got round to it. Do you have it already? I'll send you a rip if I get it on vinyl!

My friends and I used to listen to Fela Kuti for hours on end. One of my first experiences with psychedelics was soundtracked by Water No Get Enemy and Coffin for Head of State. Every time I hear it, I remember strange shifting colours and indescribable patterns dancing around the back of my eyes.
