Tony Allen - Too Many Prisoners (Elewon Po)

Drumming legend Tony Allen limbers up for his new album Secret Agent (set for release early next month) with this single - possibly the most upbeat protest song you'll have heard in a while. Allen himself takes lead vocal conspiring with a neat brass section and some typically complex drum patterns for a joyous five minutes that's in the spirit of the very finest and purest Afrobeat.
