Fela's drummer, whose incredible skill and constant experimentation allowed the collaborative invention of afrobeat over the course of the early 70s. As Fela became a bigger & bigger star, dissension over royalty money began to cause tension in the 30-person band. A strike by the band members during 1974 prompted Fela to encourage Allen to make recordings under his own name. Since Fela was legally in charge of the band members & technically the only one who could hire them, he had to book the studio & also took part in the recordings as a sax sideman. Super tight & jazzy instrumentals with polyrhythms and breakbeats scattered everywhere across traditional percussion and trap drums. Complete tracks from his 1st 4 solo albums. Tracklisting: Jealousy, Hustler, Progress, Afro Disco Beat, No Accommodation for Lagos, No Discrimination, Road Safety, Ariya, Love Is a Natural Thing.
