Brooklyn's
Antibalas kicked off the Afrobeat revival
almost a degade ago.
A super-tight
razor-sharp musical unit, Antibalas is still at the vanguard
of the movement
to revisit and reinterpret the high energy big band style now called
Afrobeat,
created by Fela and others in Nigeria in the
seventies.
This music merges
traditional West African polyrhythms, Nigerian guitar styles and a strong
dose of James Brown and other American funk and soul influences. Like Fela
and those he inspired, Antibalas also packs a political wallop in its socially
conscious lyrics.
Antibalas is gearing up to play a big record-release show at
Warsaw in Greenpoint, Brooklyn on Friday March 10, and then head off on an extensive US tour in support of the new cd Security, produced by Chicago scene eminence John McIntyre (Tortoise etc.) for Anti records.
But before they do, stop by for their first-ever FMU appearance - playing a live in-studio set during the second half of the show.

Super special thanks to magnificent engineer Irene Trudel,
who does her own great show Mondays 3-6pm on FMU,
assistant Annie Wicker and Antibalas manager Alex Kadvan.
