    "comment": "Pioneering Afrobeat drummer and Fela Kuti collaborator Tony Allen died in April at 79 of a heart attack.\n\nNigerian-born and a self-taught drummer, Tony was both the drummer and musical director of Fela Kuti's famous band Africa '70 throughout the 60s and 70s. Foundational to the afrobeat genre, the Africa ‘70 band brought together highlife, jazz, funk, soul, and fuji music. \nFela Kuti once said, “Without Tony Allen, there would be no Afrobeat.”\n\nhttps://www.kexp.org/read/2020/4/30/rip-tony-allen-afrobeat-pioneer-and-former-drummer-fela-kuti/",
