Afrobeat
The massive musical family known as Antibalas (Spanish for bullet-proof or anti-bullets) was born in 1998 in Brooklyn New York, and has since become one of the world’s leading Afrobeat bands, blending Afro-Cuban, avant classical, soul, rock, rap, reggae, and pop music. NPR has called their music “big and fun,” and recommends that “If they come to your town, drop what you're doing and go see them. Wear dancing shoes.”
