Product information: Nigerian drummer reveals the roots of Afrobeat. Tony Allen has long been regarded as Africa's finest drummer and one of the continent's most influential musicians. His influences include highlife, soul/funk, jazz and traditional Nigerian drumming. Together with Fela Kuti, with whom he played for 15 years, he invented Afrobeat, a driving, funky and politically rebellious style that has not only been a driving force in African music, but has had an impact around the world. The album "Secret Agent" is not only a majestic testament to the roots of Afrobeat, but also Allen's first album since he rose to fame as a founding member of The Good The Bad And The Queen alongside Damon Albarn, Paul Simenon and Simon Tong. 'Secret Agent' was produced by Allen himself and recorded with his proven touring band - including musicians from Nigeria, Cameroon and France. The result is ripping guitars, funky keyboards, soulful vocals, thick horns and plenty of irresistible beats. "Without Tony Allen, there would be no Afrobeat" (Fela Kuti). Vujanic in Stereoplay 7/09: "Whether Allen's sonic distillate is steeped in funk or contemplatively driven, it always remains vital and hypnotic."

Album comprende generi Funk/Soul e Afrobeat.
