This Wednesday, Los Angeles is being graced by an absolute legend. Master drummer Tony Allen, recognized as the originator of Afro-Beat from his time in Fela Kuti’s Afrika 70 & Egypt 80 groups, will be in town for the 5th edition of the Jazz Is Dead series. He’ll be performing along with Ras G, Swarvy and Nelson Bandela (fka Norvis Junior) for the time as a collective, creating entirely improvised music, never heard before. It’s gonna be an exceptional night of music, and before the performance, there will be DJ sets from Dan The Automator (Handsomeboy Modeling School, Gorillaz and Deltron 3030), DJ Expo, Wyldeflower and yours truly. If you want to witness this moment, and win a pair of tickets to this performance, make sure to e-mail me at eljefe[at]meltingpotblog.com before 5pm Tuesday!!!
