 Tony Allen, drummer from the late Fela Kuti's "Africa 70" band, is one of the progenitors of the "AFROBEAT" sound. Tony Allen laid down various drum patterns and passed them on to DJ/producer's who than created original cuts that became the "ALLENKO Brotherhood Ensemble" full length collaborative project. Originally released on Comet Records (France), this innovative project saw very limited availabilty in the US. Now, through both the LSL vinyl sampler and the Shanachie CD, it will finally be widely released state-side!
