Bio / Background
Antibalas ("anti-bullets" in Spanish) is a 14-piece-plus collective carrying on the Afrobeat tradition begun by Fela Anikulapo-Kuti. Based in Brooklyn, NY the band combines highlife, jazz, funk, and traditional African rhythms and informs all of it with unabashed political conviction. The band's sound is rooted in monstrous horns and bass, polyrhythmic beats and funky breaks, and furious lyrics in English, Yoruba and Spanish. Every Antibalas show is a dance party and life-affirming celebration. The band has traveled the world, spreading its captivating sound and potent message.
Antibalas regularly wins over jazz crowds, rock crowds, DJ crowds, world music crowds, jam band crowds, and anyone else in their path. They have performed at jazz festivals from Montreal to Montreux to Istanbul. They have been favorites at multi-genre festivals such as Bonnaroo, Bumbershoot, and England's Big Chill. They have opened for James Brown, No Doubt, Wyclef Jean, Trey Anastasio and more.
