Dave Allen

I am a British-born singer-songwriter who has been active playing live music for over 40 years. Recently, as I approached 60, I decided to get my compositions out to the world. To date I have released a 20-track album, a 5-track EP, and two singles, with another EP due for release in March 2025. My lyrics are mostly autobiographical or concern the precarious state of this precious planet and therefore I regard myself as a protest singer. I love living in Africa and have spent over half my life on this amazing continent, treated with huge respect by many wonderful people as I worked, and performed in Zimbabwe, Botswana, Malawi,, and now Mozambique. I sing all the songs myself and play all instruments too, except for the live drums, provided by an excellent studio engineer here in Maputo. My daughter, Lucy can also be heard providing the backing vocals on two of my compositions. I am always open to collaborating with fellow musicians around the world. Happy listening everybody!
