Late Afrobeat drummer Tony Allen performs songs from his final record 'Rejoice' in the new short film, 'Tony Allen Live in London'
Shot last March, the clip documents two performances from the late Nigerian drum legend, who— released that same month — which features contributions from trumpet player Hugh Masekela.
The short film features bassist Mutale Chashi and South African trumpet player Claude Deppa sitting beside Allen before a performance at London’s Church of Sound. Deppa stepped in for Masekela, who died in 2018. “Unfortunately, I don’t live in London,” Allen tells the camera. “But I’ve worked with the personnel, we’ve played for years together. And he’s a South African,” he says, referring to Deppa. “I chose him to be representing the one that is not around: Hugh Masekela.”
