No not Santa Claus…someone bigger (not literally) and better; the legendary drummer of Fela Kuti, Tony Allen! With Fela once describing his talent equivalent to that of four drummers, it is fair to say that the distinct sound of Afrobeat would not be what it is today without the handy contribution of Mr Allen. Alongside Wunmi, Dele Sosimi, and Rich Medina, Mr Allen will be amongst the prestigious guests performing at the Lemi Ghariokwu exhibition launch at Rich Mix Studios in London. There will also be a Q&A with the guests, which will be orchestrated by Paul Bradshaw.
