Antibalas sees the acclaimed Brooklyn ensemble refining their signature blend of jazz, afrobeat, soul, and funk. Released in 2012 on Daptone Records, the album pays homage to the infectious grooves of Fela Kuti while infusing their own energetic, improvisational style. Synchronized brass arrangements and call-and-response vocals underscore Antibalas’ reputation as pioneers of modern afrobeat.
This standout release is celebrated for its syncopated rhythms, funky basslines, and uplifting energy that captivate listeners from the first track, “Dirty Money.” Fans describe Antibalas as a defining moment in the band's discography, expertly capturing their dynamic live sound and socially conscious lyrics—making it a must-hear for enthusiasts of jazz, R&B, and funk.
