Tony Allen’s 2009 World Circuit debut, Secret Agent, captures the essence of Afrobeat with its powerful horns, funky guitars, jazz-infused horns, soulful vocals, and Allen’s legendary drumming. As Africa’s finest drummer and co-creator of Afrobeat alongside Fela Kuti, Allen’s influential style shaped a revolutionary sound and left a lasting impact through his solo work and collaborations with artists like Damon Albarn, Grace Jones, and Hugh Masekela.
