Tony Allen was a distinguished drummer and a close recording ally signed to Fella Kuti who was a multi talented instrumentalist and human rights activist used his music to criticize the military rule in the 1970s in Nigeria.

At the time when American R&B and hip-hop had taken on all music genres, Fella Kuti was cooking a music genre that would on time move the world

The leading and most influential music genre in Africa Afro beat has dominated Africa and the world’s music industry since the early 2000s.

Afro beat has seen the growth to stardom wealth and influence of Africa’s top musicians, ‘wizkid’ who now operates his starboy fashion brand with American long time brand Nike rose to fame in early 2000s alongside other Nigerian artists, ‘Dbanj’, Nigerian governors son ‘Davido’ , 2baba among others.
