2020 has dealt out some heavy losses to musical pioneers across the spectrum but few have contributed so much for such a prolonged period as Tony Allen. Rising to prominence as part of Fela's Egypt 70, he's credited by Kuti himself as a co-founder of afrobeat, but his work since has helped carve a singular career as a percussion polymath. 

In 2016, Napoli-via-Berlin duo Nu Guinea were granted rare access to Allen's drum recordings to rework them into an original album called Tony Allen Experiments. It makes them as familiar with his work as any and perfectly placed to curate this Praise You to one of the greatest drummers who ever lived.
