New Release: Tony Allen & Hugh Masekela 'Slow Bones' via World Circuit
TONY ALLEN & HUGH MASEKELA PREMIERE NEW TRACK ‘SLOW BONES’
 TAKEN FROM BRAND NEW ALBUM ‘REJOICE’
RELEASED 20TH MARCH ON CD / 180G LP / DIGITAL VIA WORLD CIRCUIT RECORDS
Tony Allen today premieres a second track ‘Slow Bones’ from his upcoming new album with Hugh Masekela,

‘Rejoice’, released via World Circuit on 20th March. The record will be the first posthumous release from Masekela, who passed away in 2018. Allen and Masekela are accompanied on this track by a new generation of well-respected jazz musicians including Joe Armon-Jones (Ezra Collective) on keys and Steve Williamson on saxophone.




“I don’t know why this track is called Slow Bones,” reveals Tony. “Hugh came up with all the song titles while we were recording in 2010, and we’ve left them exactly as he wrote them down. It’s amazing to think that it was 10 years ago. But everything eventually appears at the right time, for a reason.”

‘Rejoice’ Track Listing: Robbers, Thugs and Muggers (O’Galajani)
  1. Agbada Bougou
  1. Coconut Jam
  1. Never (Lagos Never Gonna Be The Same)
  1. Slow Bones
  1. Jabulani (Rejoice, Here Comes Tony)
  1. Obama Shuffle Strut Blues
  1. We’ve Landed
Having first met in the 70s thanks to their respective close associations with Fela Kuti, Allen, the Nigerian master drummer widely hailed as the co-founder of Afrobeat (and long-time member of alt-rock supergroup The Good The Bad & The Queen),
record their encounter. The unfinished sessions, consisting of all original compositions by the pair, lay in archive until after Masekela passed away in 2018. With renewed resolution, Tony Allen and Nick Gold, with the blessing and participation of Hugh’s estate, unearthed the original tapes and finished recording the album in summer 2019 at the same London studio where the original sessions had taken place.
