TONY ALLEN
His life changed totally in 1964 when he made the acquaintance of Fela Kuti, whom he would accompany for the next fifteen years, first with Fela's Koola Lobitos, an emblematic High Life band that was a model for all modern African music groups, and then when Fela led Africa 70, for which he developed a new music language: Afrobeat, which combined Yoruba rhythms and funk instruments with themes of revolution. Alongside Fela Kuti, Tony recorded some twenty albums and put his rhythm-signature to each of them: a unique way of hitting skins or a cymbal. Its main characteristic is a caressing, almost ethereal energy... and it has a formidable efficiency. From then on, Afrobeat would propel a career that saw him play with Damon Albarn, and record with the likes of Sébastien Tellier, Flea or Oumou Sangare, while pursuing his own projects in parallel.
