Such serendipity. This Tony Allen groove tutorial came up in my Recommended Videos feed on Youtube this morning. posted by uncleozzy at 7:02 AM on March 20, 2015 [1 favorite]
Tony Allen and Fela were both musical monsters to be sure, but Fela and Afrobeat have become the cliche of the continent's music. There is an upwelling of American bands playing "Afrobeat" but just doing Fela imitations. Probably not a bd thing, but where are all the Tabu Ley Rochereau imitators?
The music of Africa over the past 50 years has been incredibly diverse yet cohesive body of music, at least as rich and inspiring as rock of the 1950s and 60s. Here's hoping Fela is just a starting point. posted by argybarg at 7:26 AM on March 20, 2015 [1 favorite]
Good points, argybarg, but I don't think that changes the fact that Tony Allen is a pretty badass drummer! posted by ChuraChura at 8:16 AM on March 20, 2015 [3 favorites]
The solo in that second 'drumming' link is just epic... posted by twsf at 11:02 AM on March 20, 2015
Tony Allen is great - thanks for these links!
Crazy Afrobeat

¡°Why?¡± asked Larry, in his practical way. "Sergeant," admonished the Lieutenant, "you mustn't use such language to your men." "Yes," accorded Shorty; "we'll git some rations from camp by this evenin'. Cap will look out for that. Meanwhile, I'll take out two or three o' the boys on a scout into the country, to see if we can't pick up something to eat." Marvor, however, didn't seem satisfied. "The masters always speak truth," he said. "Is this what you tell me?" MRS. B.: Why are they let, then? My song is short. I am near the dead. So Albert's letter remained unanswered¡ªCaro felt that Reuben was unjust. She had grown very critical of him lately, and a smarting dislike coloured her [Pg 337]judgments. After all, it was he who had driven everybody to whatever it was that had disgraced him. He was to blame for Robert's theft, for Albert's treachery, for Richard's base dependence on the Bardons, for George's death, for Benjamin's disappearance, for Tilly's marriage, for Rose's elopement¡ªit was a heavy load, but Caro put the whole of it on Reuben's shoulders, and added, moreover, the tragedy of her own warped life. He was a tyrant, who sucked his children's blood, and cursed them when they succeeded in breaking free. "Tell my lord," said Calverley, "I will attend him instantly." HoME²Ô¾®¿Õ·¬ºÅѸÀ×Á´½Ó
