      The flixzone is reportedly a scam. I didn't try it myself and wouldn't.

    I listened to this. It was over. My hearing changed. Instead of hearing Antibalas, I was hearing my dishes being washed and put away. Ordinary everyday sounds that I was making using my body, such as that from the dishes, normally I had not paid attention to it. Now this had captured by attention, and it was music. And the movements I was making to wash and put away the dishes, was dance. If I had been listening somewhere else, when it was over, the sound of somewhere else would have been music. My vision had been changed to. I guess you could say Antibalas produced a change in consciousness.

    I saw their show in Utah.... I absolutely loved their show. As an African I was not expecting it. I saw a whole bunch of white boys looking like IT engineers... I said oh oh this can't be good. But when they start playing I fell in love. I danced the whole night through.

    Antibalas was to come to the Cat’s Cradle (Carborro, NC) in 2020, but COVID-19 shut down the state a week before they were to perform. That was 7 months ago, and as the pandemic has rolled on, i haven’t stopped getting deeper into Afrobeat. This music expresses the spirt of our time.
    Please stay safe and come back and play in NC as soon as it’s safe to do so!

    Many years ago at Austin City Limits festival I wandered into the Gospel tent, and I heard this band for the first time ever. They were captivating. I have never been in another situation where a random sample of people among thousands all got down together. The rest of the festival goers had no idea this was going down inside. Don't miss out on these opportunites. Seek them out.

Fran has taken the role of lead vocals in an awesome way. So, really I don´t get your point - anyways long life to afrobeat and the power to fight abuse through music 🔥

But their sound just doesn't sound authentic to my ears. I'll give them a try. I love Fela's music and his music has teeth. Fela's music doesn't have that Kumbaya feel. It's very crude.

I'm only referring to Antibalas and how they copy Fela's music, sound, spirit, etc. That's it. It just sounds like a knock-off to me. It doesn't sound authentic to me. It's like Muse and Radiohead. To me, MUSE sounds like a band created for those who cannot understand Radioheaed. That's Ok too. Some people will get offended by that. I understand why. Back to Antibalas, I guess it just sounds like nostalgia music to me. That's all. Interesting conversation. This convo can lead us to the question "what is art?l" LOL.

Just like Parliament, Kool and the Gang , and others are funk bands, with their own distinct songs, who were influenced by James Brown. But you wouldn’t say they were James Brown copycats. Antibalas is influenced by Fela, but if you listen closely to their albums they have their own sound and experiment with different rhythms, sounds, and textures.
