Antibalas

Fu Chronicles Antibalas

With a globetrotting 20-year career as a voice for the people across four decades of political and societal upheaval from the late '90s to today, Antibalas celebrates its 20th Anniversary with a stark return to their Williamsburg roots on its latest Daptone Records studio album, Fu Chronicles.

Fu Chronicles transports listeners to where universal equilibrium and indefinite possibilities unite within a dream world of a child's limitless mind. The transcendent long-form Afrobeat compositions decolonize our psyches through movements traversing with melodies to realign us with a purpose of finding balance in our coexistence. The fiery 12-piece Antibalas ensemble - widely renowned as one of America's fiercest live bands - along with an additional five musicians transform Amayo's opus into hypnotic and invigorating compositions with singular rhythms of resistance.
