Tony Allen played drums for Fela Kuti's Africa 70 and Egypt 80 organizations, pioneering the unique beat and vibe of Afrobeat music which combines polyrhythmic influences of Africa with the breakbeats and extended jams of the American funk and R&B which reached Nigeria in the late 60s and early 70s. Afrobeat music has since re-influenced western dance music in fusion genres like broken beat and future jazz, as in the music of Bugz in the Attic.
Tony Allen released incredible solo afrobeat and psychedelic funk albums on his own and is notable on this site for his current contributions to the supergroup Psycho on Da Bus.
This is the Straight remix by CARL Craig made in September 2007.

Nice track and photos, but it looks like you accidentally put one of Chicago in there [ 2:35 ].

You're welcome! I found this song so deep and subtile! The chorus is sweet, but the bassline is forceful , repetitive and strong. A favourite!

Fantastic pics... nothing has the feeling of that 70's-80's NYC

No, nothing... In fact I think Berlin is the relief of this feeling in the XXI century. Decadence and freedom together, always a nice (but melancholic) conjunction.
