Lagos No Shaking

Tony Allen

Honest Jons Records
HJRCD20 | 2009-06-19  
An Honest Jon's classic from 2006, and Tony Allen's best album — the real thing, raw and uncut, recorded in Lagos with a twenty-piece band including the finest musicians in the city, not least Lekan Animashaun and Showboy from the killer Fela lineups, and the palm-wine veteran Rolling Dollar. Lagos No Shaking paved the way for the drummer's triumph in The Good, The Bad And The Queen; and spawned an acclaimed series of remixes — by Carl Craig, the Basic Channel duo, Diplo and co — Lagos Shake. 'the best soul album — in the real sense of the word — you'll hear this year... classic, blistering afro-beat' (Daily Telegraph); 'as tight as a pressure cooker... fierce and fun' (The Wire); 'son meilleur album... monumentale, triomphante, orgasmique' (Les Inrockuptibles); '**** utterly infectious... a triumphant return' (The Observer).
