On this week's programme:
Tony Allen has moved on. He died suddenly in Paris of an aneurism. He, together with Fela Kuti, created a genre of African music which still excites and inspires across the world.
In recent years he collaborated widely, bringing his distinctive drumming style into other genres, notably and recently, his first love - jazz.
The first hour of tonight’s programme looks at the range of the legacy that he left us.
Edikanfo’s album was originally released in their native Accra in 1981, and was produced by Brian Eno.
Groupe RTD’s album will be the first international release from Djibouti in East Africa.

Millie Small, who has died, sang “My boy lollipop”, produced by Chris Blackwell and one of the most successful ska songs ever.
