« Celebrating Tony Allen Spirit Of The Drum » tribute concert
Thanks to .pii for these amazing photos💥

à rio_loco récitant « Le Souffle Des Ancêtres » un poème du poète sénégalais Birago Diop, le rejoignant sur scène pour un poignant hommage à Tony Allen.

"Écoute plus les choses que les êtres,
La voix du Feu s'entend,
Écoute la voix de l'Eau,
Écoute dans le Vent,
C'est le Souffle des ancêtres.
ceux qui sont morts ne sont jamais partis Ils sont dans l’ombre qui s’éclaire
Et dans l’ombre qui s’épaissit,
Les morts ne sont pas sous la terre
Ils sont dans l’arbre qui frémit,
Ils sont dans le bois qui gémit,
Ils sont dans l’eau qui coule,
Ils sont dans la case, ils sont dans la foule Les morts ne sont pas morts »

"Tony Allen sat behind the kit, wearing his ever-present fedora, shades and slight grin, looking like he’d attained some kind of higher-order inner peace. But there’s some kind of sorcery at work in his tantalizingly laid-back, craftily syncopated beats, which compel you to move like few others on the planet." 📷
