Antibalas "Where the Gods Are in Peace" CD

*Commentary: Daisuke Kuroda (kickin)

Antibalas, one of the greatest Afro-funk bands of the modern era, has inherited the spirit of the late Nigerian superstar Fela Kuti and continues to develop it. After about five years of work, they have completed their long-awaited new album!

Antibalas, a band that continues to lead the current Afrobeat/Afro-funk scene, inheriting the musical will of Fela Kuti, the founder of the one and only musical style "Afrobeat", has released their long-awaited second album after moving to Daptone Records, the most important label leading the US deep funk scene. The overwhelming groove, energy, and power of their music, with its raging rhythms and thick horn section exchanges, is the ultimate album that truly shows the essence of Afro-funk.
