- Benji's blog
20th July 09
It’s all about the African rhythms this week. Benji was joined by the incredible drummer and founder of Afrobeat, Tony Allen. He talks about playing with Fela Kuti & Africa 70, how he feels about artists including Common sampling his work and explains why drum machine developers need to talk to him! Very special show with a living legend; a must listen.
