It’s difficult to exaggerate the scale of Tony Allen’s talent and influence. The Nigerian drummer joined Fela Kuti’s band when the soon-to-be-legendary performer was still impersonating James Brown.

He died suddenly from an aneurysm yesterday in Paris, leaving behind a legacy that spans decades, genres, and continents.
