The Best of Afrobeat: A Tony Allen playlist

World Circuit

Editors' Notes "This is my definitive Afrobeat playlist – a collection that includes classics spanning 5 decades, from Fela Kuti to Ebo Taylor, as well as a selection of current artists who have been inspired by Afrobeat (Burna Boy, Black Coffee, Ezra Collective), plus songs from my own solo repertoire."
