Best known for defining the pulse of Fela KutiÆs propulsive Afrobeat sound,
the self-taught Tony Allen is a near superhuman combination of metronomic
sense of time, light touch, economy, endurance, and musicality. Though it
took a long time, his distinctive beat is part of the worldÆs musical
vocabulary now. Since parting ways with Fela, heÆs done quite a range of
work, including a couple of recent, fairly high-profile collaborations with
Damon Albarn that took him pretty far away from the pigeonhole people tend
to place him in on the basis of his best-known playing.
Film of Life doesnÆt quite break new ground for Allen, but it does offer a
pretty solid and succinct demonstration of AfrobeatÆs adaptability to
changing times. There are no side-long epics in the Fela mold here, but
Allen packs quite a bit into each of these four-to-seven-minute-tracks,
building up from his own drums grooves with hypnotic guitar and bass
patterns, a richly arranged horn section, and an assortment of other sounds
that are nearly all overwhelmed by the massive rhythm that dominates
everything.
Allen himself handles vocals on the first two tracks, mostly talking in his
deep bass register and aided by a female chorus, narrating a personal
history and thanking the listener for being there. His voice is
appropriately situated well down in the mix; he does his best talking with
his hands, and though he shows a little uncharacteristic flash here and
there, the really impressive thing about Allen is the way he can take a
simple, slow beat like the one on "TigerÆs Skip" and make it sing when a
lot of drummers would have trouble just staying in time at that tempo.
Comparing it to the much faster beat on the storming, spacey funk
instrumental "Ewa" reveals a lot about what makes his playing so special;
no matter what else is going on, Allen has an ability to stay steady and
fill time with exactly as much embellishment as necessary.
AlbarnÆs guest vocal turn on "Go Back" provides the albumÆs highlight and
the closest thing to a single that it has to offer. The man could sound sad
singing "The Wheels on the Bus", and the contrast of his hang-dog delivery
and AllenÆs spryness makes for a song as good as anything the two have done
together in the Good, the Bad, and the Queen or Rocket Juice & the Moon.
Moments like this and KukuÆs totally unexpected Auto-Tuned vocal in the
second half of "Koko Dance" take Film of Life a few steps past a simple
summary of the things Allen excels at and make it something to hear even
for people who arenÆt Afrobeat obsessives.
