Antibalas

After dedicating the last three years to providing the musical foundation and pulse for the latest off-and-on-Broadway sensation, Fela!, Antibalas brings the party back to its Brooklyn roots for a weekly residency at the iconic music venue, the Knitting Factory.

The concerts - to be held December 3, 10, 17, New Years Eve, and extending into January, 2010 - promise to hearken back to Antibalas' legendary Africalia! dance parties at Tribeca's now-defunct No Moore Club, and further cement the bands' irrepressible reputation as an unstoppable live music juggernaut. From the New York Post: “What really makes the show work is the music, fabulously delivered by Antibalas," to the New York Times: “As played by the Brooklyn band Antibalas, this is music that gets into your bloodstream," Antibalas' reputation has quickly become headline news.
