Description: Tony Allen is the autobiography of legendary Nigerian drummer Tony Allen, the rhythmic engine of Fela Kuti's Afrobeat.
Review Quotes: "This master drummer's account is enriched by unstinting critical appraisal, whether evaluating Fela's most loved recordings or his own subsequent solo efforts. Tony Allen, ever restless, retains the enthusiasm of an absolute beginner, tempered with a survivor's wisdom. His life obviously a work in progress, one anticipates music yet to come and the stories that surface in its wake."--Richard Henderson "The Wire"
