I am always excited to
get a new Antibalas. I love this band. The new album features 6 songs (one is
split into 2 parts) and they stay pretty true to their sounds and classic
afrobeat rhythms on most of the tracks but sometimes like on Koto, they create
something totally new and unexpected!! YOu can check out the official video for Fight am Finish below.
The band is not as active as they used to be as at least one main member
is in San Francisco the last many years. Anyway, they still have a killer sound
and groove and I have been totally digging this record. This time you get all
the lyrics as well in a small booklet with the CD. 16 members plus background
singers!! Huge band. Check out the
samples below. Fela is still king!
