Lagos Paris London (CD)
Yannis & The Yaw
Amoeba Review
Every so often, an album comes along and makes you stop in your tracks. That's the case for the wondrous, imaginative Lagos Paris London. Vibrant, upbeat, and with a bit of an edge, this five-track EP is the result of an all-too-short yet seemingly fated collaboration between Foals singer Yannis Philippakis and the late, great Afrobeat legend Tony Allen. The pair play off each other magnificently, creating a fusion of sounds so dynamic and fresh it just feels like the sound of NOW — and that's despite the many setbacks in the creation of this collection, from scheduling issues to Covid restrictions, that started all the way back in 2016. Lagos Paris London is phenomenal.
