Nigerian drummer. Celebrating Tony Allen’s 70th Birthday and 50 years of Nigeria’s independence, this concert features guest collaborators with whom he has worked over the years. A mega star of world music, Tony, alongside Fela Kuti, was one of the founders of Afrobeat; a musical style that inspired political insurrection through funk and dance. As one of the most dynamic players of the drum set, his ability to play four rhythms at once will leave you stunned and his relaxed manner will only add to the impressiveness.| 6 Oct 10 | Barbican Centre West End, Greater London Performance Details => Venue archive |
