And now, for your Bonus Post pleasure...
We have some relatively new Afrobeat biznezz from one of the genre's creators...
... and that would be Mr. Tony Allen, who was of course Fela's drummer, about whom Fela said he needed four guys to replace when he left the band. Yeah, one of the guys was only there to replace Tony's impeccable cappuccino-making skills, but I think the point was that he's pretty good at drumming. This record is from 2003 and features Damon Albarn on one of the tracks (not terribly surprising, as Tony is a member of The Good, The Bad & The Queen), but not this one. This one's all Afrobeat shuffle with a kickin' horn section...
And, um... I have nothing more to add today... so there.
