{"product_id":"lagos-no-shaking","title":"Lagos No Shaking","description":"Personnel: Tony Allen (drums); Fred Fisher (trombone).\u003cbr\u003eEverything from the title to the music to the graffiti-style cover art on Tony Allen's LAGOS NO SHAKING invokes the spirit of the legendary Fela Kuti, and with good reason: Allen was the drummer and occasional director of Fela's great Africa 70 ensemble, helping in no small part to create the very beat of Afro-beat\u003cbr\u003eAllen's career has been marked by experimentation and a willingness to synthesize musical styles (something he learned from his old bandleader), but the core of LAGOS NO SHAKING is pure Afro-beat. Dense polyrhythms create a rattling skeleton fleshed out by burbling bass lines, chiming guitar, call-and-response vocal lines, and ubiquitous, out-front horn riffs. Allen's compositions may dip into American R\u0026amp;B-style singing (\"Kilode\") or approximate the cool-toned feel of King Sunny Ade's juju (\"Moyege\"), but Fela Kuti's legacy lives on in the album's intense, beautifully constructed grooves.","brand":"MovieMars","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46448294166815,"sku":"4047179102520","price":18.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0679\/7833\/0399\/files\/45e475a2edeea506a029a2533095aed8.jpg?v=1777890602","url":"https:\/\/www.moviemars.com\/products\/lagos-no-shaking","provider":"MovieMars","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
