TONY ALLEN & HUGH MASEKELA – SINGLE REVIEW

Tony Allen & Hugh Masekela – We’ve Landed

(World Circuit Records)

Release Date: Out Now

Giants of the African music world Tony Allen and Hugh Masekela have teamed for a whole album of collaboration and, judging by this first missive, it’s going to be a real treat. ‘We’ve Landed’ is fuelled by skittish Jazz beats courtesy of Allen and he is in fine, loose and free flowing form. Then come the punctuating trumpet stabs of Masekela, rich and full of passionate flavour all sewn together with a warm undercurrent of melodies bubbling along on the water. A rare treat.
