RELEASE DATE
6/7/2011
2007 release. Vampisoul presents a complete '70s anthology of the drummer and music director of African superstar
Fela Kuti
's band
Africa 70
, from 1968 until 1979, the creators of Afrobeat. This monster pack includes Tony's first four solo albums:
Jealousy
(1975),
Progress
(1976),
No Accomodation for Lagos
(1978), and
No Discrimination
(1979). The first three produced by Fela Kuti himself and with Africa 70; the last one with Tony´s band
The Afro Messengers
. Complete extensive liner notes inside. Mild-mannered, but iron-willed, Tony Allen is the co-creator of Afrobeat, and one of the most distinctive and in-demand drummers on the planet. No one swings like this Nigerian rhythm man -- with that amazing, loose-limbed, poly-rhythmic technique that has powered some of the funkiest and most challenging dance music ever created. Best known for his involvement with the late, great Fela Kuti, Tony Allen is very much more than Fela's -- or anyone else's -- drummer. Bandleader, composer and husky rapping vocalist, Tony Allen has recorded a string of groundbreaking solo albums since parting company with Fela in 1978 -- sides that draw together African rhythm, funk, jazz, soul and hip hop. His inimitably propulsive skinwork has enhanced the work of an amazing range of artists, from Afro-giants
Manu Dibango
,
Ray Lema
and
Sunny Ade
to British-Indian songstress
Susheela Raman
and Californian rock-rappers
Spearhead
. Complete extensive liner notes included.
