Description:

Brooklyn, N.Y.-based Antibalas, one of the best Afro beat/funk bands of our time, releases a new album on the popular and trusted Daptone Records label! Hourglass” is the latest release from Antibalas, a band that inherits the spirit and groove of Fela Kuti, the founder of Afrobeat, and brings it back to its roots in instrumental music! This is the band’s quintessential work, expressing social themes using only strong rhythms, melodies, and ensembles. The album features not only Afro beats, but also cosmic jazz, frontier psychedelic feeling, exotic sounds, and even rare grooves. The band is made up of various ethnic groups including whites, blacks, and Latinos, and you can enjoy the raging groove and diverse funk spirit that is truly characteristic of Antibalas.
