| Antibalas Afrobeat Orchestra "Who is this America?" 2LP (KSD-210) アフロビート・オルケストラが２LPをリリース！ 日本人のFunk/Dubファンのテーストに合っている。 Track list & Audio Sample |
 |
Antibalas Afrobeat Orchestra "Who is this America?" 2LP (KSD-210) On this, their third full-length release, the Antibalas Afrobeat Orchestra, a 12-piece collective, has recorded their greatest studio effort to date. Who Is This America? is a fluid and cohesive musical and political statement that begins respectfully and authentically where Fela Kuti left off and moves forward to redefine the boundaries of Funk and Afrobeat with a bold new voice. Through moods that span dance-oriented 'Big Man' or the raucous, almost Afro-punk 'Indictment,' to the mellow dub-infused walk of 'Elephant,' Antibalas is able to maintain a unique and consistent musical voice.
