Tony Allen – There Is No End (Ltd Edn Alternate Cover 45rpm Vinyl 2LP)

“I play yours, you play mine. The music never ends.” The wisdom of the late, great Afrobeat drummer Tony Allen’s words was as deep as his grooves, and his words truly capture the spirit of There is No End. For a man “born into rhythms,” the thousands of grooves he recorded, the innumerable more he performed on stages the world over, all make it clear that while this album marks the coda of a legendary career, it will inspire generations more of musicians, artists and fans who hear it. Tony’s motivating concept and desire was to work with younger artists, and especially the new generation of rappers, and give them voice in a time of global turmoil when music has never been more important – as medicine to heal a fractured world today.
