Tony Oladipo Allen(born in August 12,1940 in Lagos,Nigeria)is a Nigerian drummer,composer and songwriter.As drummer and musical director of Fela Anikulapo Kuti's band Africa 70 from 1968 to 1979, Tony Allen was one of the primary co-founders of the genre of Afrobeat music.Fela once stated that, "without Tony Allen, there would be no Afrobeat.He has also been described by Brian Eno as"perhaps the greatest drummer who has ever lived."

The Toe Bone and the Tooth was written by Martin Prechtel.
He also wrote the books Secrets of the Talking Jaguar and Stealing Benefacios's roses.
He was raised in a Indian Pueblo.
I think that he wrote this story because it talks about racism.
