Tony Allen - Secret Agent
(CD) World Circuit WCD 082, 2009-06-08
Tony Allen has long been acknowledged as Africa's finest kit drummer and one of the continent's most influential musicians. His playing draws on four different styles - highlife, soul/funk, jazz and traditional Nigerian drumming. A unique and mighty sound. Together with Fela Kuti (with whom he played for 15 years) Allen co-created Afrobeat - the hard driving, horns rich, funk-infused, 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, is Allen's 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). Afrobeat is currently enjoying an upsurge of interest and for fans of hip-hop, funk and jazz, Allen, holder of the Afrobeat flame, is today revered as its seminal living figure.

Various - Lagos Shake: A Tony Allen Chop Up
(CD/2xLP) Honest Jon's HJRCD34/HJRLP34, 2008-05-05
In 2006 Honest Jon's travelled to Lagos with the great drummer Tony Allen, to make his first recordings there since his time with Fela Kuti. The result was "Lagos No Shaking", a classic of contemporary Afro-beat. Since then, the label has commissioned numerous responses to those new sides. From legends of dance music culture like Basic Channel in Berlin, for example, and Detroit techno originator Carl Craig; and young tigers like Dizzee Rascal's Newham Generals, MIA producer Diplo in Baltimore, and carioca sensations Bonde Do Role from Rio De Janeiro. Along with these reworks came totally new recordings from Cairo, Saturn, Bogota and Kingston, Jamaica. Fresh interpretations or complete reworkings by the space jazz pioneer Salah Ragab, a street brass band descended from Sun Ra's Arkestra, highlife-inspired Afro-Colombian drummers from the maroon village of San Palenque De Basilio, and a veteran of Count Ossie's Mystic Revelation Of Rastafari. Afro-beat, dub, jazz, chalupa, electro, Bmore, highlife, techno, grime, carioca, champeta and funk from all corners of the globe, fizzing away together.
