Our Take

With their collaborative album "Rejoice," Tony Allen and Hugh Masekela have created a sonic journey that effortlessly blends Afrobeat and jazz in a way that is both innovative and timeless.

From the moment the first track, "Robbers, Thugs and Muggers (O'Galajani)," kicks in with its infectious rhythm and soulful trumpet melodies, it is clear that these two musical legends are in a league of their own.

Allen's dynamic drumming sets the foundation for Masekela's mesmerizing trumpet solos, creating a rich tapestry of sound that is as complex as it is captivating.

Tracks like "Agbada Bougou" and "Slow Bones" showcase the duo's ability to seamlessly weave together African and Western musical influences, resulting in a truly unique listening experience.

The standout moment of the album comes in the form of the stunning ballad "Never (Lagos Never Gonna Be the Same)." Masekela's haunting trumpet lines combined with Allen's intricate drum patterns create a hauntingly beautiful atmosphere that is impossible to resist.

Overall, "Rejoice" is a triumph of collaboration and creativity, showcasing the incredible talents of two of the most iconic figures in African music. It is a testament to the power of music to transcend borders and bring people together in a celebration of joy and unity. Don't miss out on this one-of-a-kind musical experience.
