We’re in for a real holiday treat:Â Antibalas are setting up camp every Thursday night at Willyburg’s Knitting Factory for the whole month of December. Not only are they the house band from Broadway musical Fela! but they are also the undisputed leaders and innovators of groovy and danceable Afro-Beat, a genre once ruled by Nigeria’s Fela Kuti. So grab a cup of coffee (it’s a late night affair), head down to the Knitting Factory, and get your afro-inspired dance moves in motion every Thursday of this month.
“After dedicating the last three years providing the musical foundation and pulse for the latest off- and on-Broadway sensation, Fela!, Antibalas brings the party back to its Brooklyn roots for a weekly residency at the iconic music venue, the Knitting Factory. The concerts—to be held December 3rd, 10th, 17, New Year’s Eve, and extending into January, 2010—promise to hearken back to Antibalas’ legendary Africalia! dance parties at Tribeca’s now-defunct No Moore club, and further cement the band’s’ irrepressible reputation as an unstoppable live music juggernaut.” Motormouth Media
