There just aren't many bands like Antibalas. These are jazz players making dance music: Their music is big and fun, and their guiding spirit is Fela Kuti, the brilliant big-band leader and Nigerian Afrobeat pioneer. The group, whose name means "bulletproof" or “anti-bullet” in Spanish, employs a musical arsenal that has become known worldwide. Initially using the revolutionary blueprint of Afrobeat as a launching pad, the dozen-strong members of Antibalas weave a rich tapestry of Latin, jazz, classical, funk, and soul into their horn-driven mix. Words fail in trying to describe the result: simultaneously polyrhythmic and political, independent and contagious, and the reason why many have credited the band for introducing Afrobeat's framework to a new generation. If they come to your town, drop what you're doing and go see them. Wear dancing shoes. Presented by KFAI’s Temposphere.
