Antibalas played the night’s most exploratory set. Its Afrobeat has been infused with New York City propulsion and diversity. It ratchets up Fela’s deliberate pace and sometimes exults in the dissonance of its churning, brawling funk. Amayo, its songwriter and lead singer — in face paint and a flashy red-white-and-blue outfit — sang about “dirty money,” unity and respect for women, while the band’s instrumental buildups were a galvanizing message on their own. – [The New York Times]
Last weekend, Antibalas played the first two nights of the Daptone Super Soul Revue at The Apollo. (The Budos Band played the third.) Right after the holidays, Antibalas will be heading out on a co-headlining tour with Zap Mama, and those dates include a NYC show at Highline Ballroom on February 11. Tickets are on sale now.
Before their tour together starts, Zap Mama will take part in the 2015 globalFEST at Webster Hall on January 11. Tickets are still available for that. All Antibalas/Zap Mama tour dates are listed below…
