Inventor of Afrobeat
Tony Allen, one of unique drummers of modern times who invented something new that is never created before on drum-set.
A self-taught musician who started to play drums at the age of eighteen. Influenced by Juju, traditional Yoruba and American Jazz.
Played with Cool Cats and Koalo Lobitos; Fela Kuti’s High-life Jazz band.
“You can tell a good drummer because we have four limbs and they are playing different things… the patterns don't just come from Yoruba but other parts of Nigeria and Africa." Tony Allen
After Fela, Allen developed a hybrid sound, deconstructing and fusing Afrobeat with electronica, dub, R&B and Rap. Allen refers to this synthesis as Afrofunk.
