EVENT DETAILS

Antibalas and Malamanya

Price: $18 - $20

When: Ended 09/11/12

Where: First Avenue Mainroom

Since Antibalas released its last album in 2007, the 14-year-old Brooklyn Afrobeat crew became the house band for the Broadway musical “Fela!” and signed with Daptone Records, the hip home of Sharon Jones & the Dap-Kings. “Antibalas,” released last month, is another Afrobeat explosion that emphasizes songs, not just grooves, that become extended dance numbers. Credit producer Gabriel Roth (aka Bosco Mann of the Dap-Kings) for shaping this record; he actually was a member of Antibalas for its first three albums (this is their fifth). Malamanya opens.
