MELTDOWN LAUNCH PARTY with Tony Allen
12 June 2009
Tony Allen, long acknowledged as Africa’s finest kit drummer, is one of the continent’s most influential musicians, and one of the creators of afrobeat. A key collaborator with Fela Kuti in the 1960s and 1970s, Allen has since worked with artists including Damon Albarn in The Good, The Bad and The Queen, Air and Grace Jones. In this special event, he performs music from his new album Secret Agent with a full band, and DJs before the performance.
