On
April 10th, S.O.B.’s, New York’s Home of Universal
Music, presents an high energy live performance by Afrobeat
pioneers Antibalas. Antibalas, the Afrobeat band with the Spanish
name (meaning bulletproof) is a multicultural Brooklyn-based
ensemble, that has established itself as one of New York's
most electrifying bands with a knack for live performances.
Antibalas, a longtime S.O.B.’s stalwart, released its
fourth full-length studio album, Security to much acclaim in
2007 and the 15-member band has been touring steadily since
then. The last time that Antibalas was at S.O.B.’s was
Halloween 2007 and the crowd was treated to a spooky intense
jam session, as the members of the group dressed in zombie
costumes and opened with a spirited cover of "Thriller",
and followed with the usual fodder of fantastic music from
the ensemble.
On April 10th, Antibalas’ energetic and
dynamic live show promises to be a boisterous evening. Come
check out the ensemble for their first S.O.B.’s show
of 2008 and a night filled with great music, food and dancing.
