Commodore Tomorrow Night [Sunday, November 23rd]

[Erica]

If any of you want to check out a good show tomorrow night (Sunday, November 23rd), Coastal Jazz is presenting the Antibalas Afrobeat Orchestra at the Commodore. They're a group from New York that features jazz and funk with traditional African rhythms. Really wicked stuff! You can check out their website for more info @ http://www.antibalas.com/

A short description of the band from their website:
"Antibalas (“anti-bullets” in Spanish) is a 14-piece-plus collective carrying on the Afrobeat tradition begun by Fela Anikulapo-Kuti. Based in New York, the band combines highlife, jazz, funk, and traditional African rhythms and informs all of it with unabashed political conviction. The band’s sound is rooted in monstrous horns and bass, polyrhythmic beats and funky breaks, and furious lyrics in English, Yoruba and Spanish. Every Antibalas show is a dance party and life-affirming celebration. The band has traveled the world, spreading its captivating sound and potent message."
