skipclone 1 Posted May 1, 2020 Share Posted May 1, 2020 Lately I have been watching a few youtube videos from 'A drum teacher reacts to xx drummer'. I'm kind of disappointed that Tony Allen isn't included. I was familiar with Fela Kuti (and son Femi) but didn't know. I would say that Mr. Allen was hugely disserviced compared to his contributions. RIP-a big loss for music. https://www.yahoo.com/entertainment/tony-allen-pioneering-afrobeat-drummer-224859412.html Quote Same old surprises, brand new cliches- Skipsounds on Soundclick: www.soundclick.com/bands/pagemusic.cfm?bandid=602491 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scott Fraser Posted May 1, 2020 Share Posted May 1, 2020 I got to watch Tony from backstage at a big outdoor festival in New York a few years ago. He was hugely revered in the Afro-beat community. RIP Mr Allen. Quote Scott Fraser Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
