ANTIBALAS Security (Gatefold Sleeve, Limited White Vinyl)

Popis:

2LP - Limited Edition 180g White Colour Vinyl housed in a Gatefold Sleeve. Only 500 individually numbered copies pressed in this edition.

Antibalas established themselves in the late 1990s as a burning, tough, horn, bass and drum driven Afrobeat ensemble cut from the Fela Kuti mold, who were politically savvy and socially conscious. Their live shows have been incendiary events where rhythm and perspiration from completely crazy, booty-shaking audience members shared something deeper and wider than the music itself. Security is Antibalas' fourth album. It was co-produced by the band with John McEntire from Tortoise.

The group, whose name means "bulletproof" in Spanish, has indeed proved they possess the mettle to not only survive but also thrive by employing a musical arsenal that has become known worldwide. Initially using the revolutionary blueprint of afrobeat as a launching pad, the dozen-strong members of Antibalas weave a rich tapestry of latin, jazz, classical, funk and soul into their horn-driven mix. Words fail in trying to describe the result: simultaneously polyrhythmic and political, independent and contagious, and the reason why many have credited the band for introducing afrobeat's framework to a new generation.

Brooklyn's Antibalas--as tough and diverse as the city that birthed them--

Security is available as a numbered limited edition of 500 copies on white coloured vinyl and comes in a gatefold sleeve.
