Our Take

Finally, the moment we've all been waiting for - a collaboration between two legends in their own right, Tony Allen and Hugh Masekela. "Rejoice" is a musical celebration that transports you to the heart of Africa with its infectious rhythms and soulful melodies.

With Allen's mesmerizing drumming and Masekela's enchanting trumpet playing, this album is a true masterpiece that showcases the talent and chemistry between these two artists. The opening track, "Robbers, Thugs and Muggers," sets the tone with its funky grooves and spirited solos.

Each song on the album tells a story, whether it's the slow and haunting "Agbada Bougou," or the upbeat and joyful "Never (Lagos Never Gonna Be the Same)." The beauty of "Rejoice" lies in its ability to transport the listener to a different world, filled with passion and creativity.
