Afronomy Vol.2
In the previous part of this post I had already talked about Tony Allen as a prophet of Fela. Not too much risk on my part by announcing that as he was his drummer for over 10 years and has simply structured the Afrobeat sound. Since he fervently defended it while introducing more experimental elements, especially during collaborations with Damon Albarn and Doctor L. On the Hip-Hop side it’s with the nigerian-born rapper Ty that it’s happened and it is certainly just a matter of time with the somali K’Naan…
