Should this not be noticed? From the Blur song Music is My Radar?

Discography

Is the discography supposed to contain albums on which Tony Allen played? If so, New Cool Collective - Trippin' should be added to the list (see the album cover). 85.113.245.37 (talk) 12:15, 10 April 2010 (UTC)

Collaboration with lead singer of the band Foals, 2024

https://www.clashmusic.com/news/yannis-the-yaw-unites-foals-yannis-philippakis-with-afrobeat-legend-tony-allen/

The frontman confirmed the news overnight, with the new project going by the name Yannis & The Yaw. Incoming EP ‘Lagos Paris London’ lands on August 30th via Transgressive Records, melting together indie, electronics, and afrobeat. The EP owes a debt to sessions some time back, with Yannis Philippakis and afrobeat legend Tony Allen heading into the studio. 46.126.111.250 (talk) 15:23, 11 July 2024 (UTC)
