Earlier this year, trumpeter Takuya Kuroda invited us into the studio to record an afrobeat version of the late great Donald Byrd's "Think Twice" (co-produced by our own Nikhil P Yerawadekar) for his latest album "Zigzagger" on Concord Jazz.

We're happy to announce that we have some new music out today.
The song "Tattletale" (Parts 1-2), written by keyboard whiz/producer Victor Axelrod aka Ticklah and performed/recorded by Antibalas at the famed Daptone House of Soul in Brooklyn, is available on 45 rpm vinyl as well as MP3 download.
Order the 7" vinyl HERE from Daptone. (First 100 orders get limited edition opaque white vinyl.)
Digital download from iTunes HERE.
We'll be on the road late summer/fall with Arcade Fire as well as some shows in NYC as we write some new songs, finish old ones, and develop new repertoire for a nationwide tour beginning in late January 2015.
Stay tuned.
This past September during our Fall US tour, we made an extended stop in Washington, DC for a live performance at the Black Cat, and a visit to the offices of National Public Radio (NPR) to do a Tiny Desk Concert (with the full band). The next day, vocalist Amayo and baritone saxophonist Martín Perna sat down for an interview with Rachel Martin of Weekend Edition. If you're interested in the thermodynamics of music and how temperature is key to a great concert, please check the interview:
