Tony Allen
The sessions for this record originated when the two musicians met in a London studio. Although the collaboration remained unfinished for years, Allen returned to the material after Masekela passed away to complete the work.
These pieces integrate the tight precision of Afrobeat with a soulful, jazz-influenced language. The resulting sessions feel warm and personal, documenting two prominent figures as they exchange ideas through a rhythmic and global dialogue.
