LAGOS SHAKE - A TONY ALLEN CHOP-UP : VARIOUS ARTISTS [Honest Jons]
€32.00
Catalogue : Honest Jons / HJRLP34
Format : 2LLP
Condition : Used / NM / NM
Country : UK
Released : 2008
Genre : African, World
A long-awaited full length set – one that finally brings together all of the amazing Tony Allen reworks done by the Honest Jon's label!
These "chop up" tracks were originally issued over a range of limited 12" singles, and they're really amazing stuff – not just remixes of Tony Allen's work, but re-recordings and re-interpretations as well – a batch of music that stands amazingly well on its own, even if you're not a fan of Tony originally – and which takes his music into even more exotic territory than just Afro Funk!
The choice of artists here is key to the set – as players from other Afro-influenced genres really take a new spin on Allen's music – and are allowed to strongly bring their own sounds to the set.
