Conceived in Mexico City and born in a Brooklyn warehouse in 1997, Antibalas is rooted in Afrobeat, but thoroughly flexible. Their live shows are the stuff of legend—hot, sweaty, dance marathons set to a tight, infectious groove. Lead singer Amayo, a native of Lagos, Nigeria and a senior Kung Fu master, guides the band through cathartic workouts of call and response, dynamic instrumentals and eruptive solos. Antibalas has collaborated with artists from Angélique Kidjo to Medeski Martin & Wood to Public Enemy, and served as the house band at Carnegie Hall. They’re on the road in support of their newly released album, their first since 2012’s Antibalas.
