Tony Allen's Lagos
EJ | Phila, Pa USA | 10/16/2006
(5 out of 5 stars)

"The latest release from Tony Allen is not to be overlooked, this is his first recording in Nigeria in many years. It's a gift to hear these fierce, funky rhythms with an original feel. No need to make comparisons to Fela...the Fela foundation will always be there...but we have to give it up to Tony, for creating a tight and eclectic production with his trademark percussive beats and steady bass and guitars to keep the groove in motion. And just in case you weren't energized enough, the brass and vocals shine bold and powerful. It is difficult to select one track over another, but pay attention to, "Ole" and "Kilode." The last two tracks, "Moyege" and "Gbedu" will keep you in suspense...you won't want this Lagos party to end."
