Tony Allen

No Accommodation For Lagos by Tony Allen with Afrika 70 was originally released in 1977 and is widely regarded as an essential afrobeat recording. Tony Allen took afrobeat in an afro-funk direction fired by the frustration of the turbulent times the band were living in and passion for music that just had to be made.
