A few weeks ago a bunch of Antibalas members served as the house band at the City Winery afterparty following the Music of David Bowie concerts at and Carnegie Hall and Radio City Music Hall  on 3/31 and 4/1/2016. Here are some audience videos from the night:

"Black Star"

 

"Fame" featuring Marcus Farrar, vocals.

"Golden Years" featuring Timothy Allen, vocals.

 

Here's one more, with the full Antibalas band, from January 19, 2016 from our residency at Brooklyn Bowl with special guest Miguel Zenón.

Thanks to Jimmy Kimmel and his great crew for inviting us to perform "Dirty Money" and "The Rat Catcher" live on the show last night. We had a lot of fun and had the unexpected treat of meeting basketball great Magic Johnson before the show. "Dirty Money"

npr_logo_rgbThis 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: Linkhttp://www.npr.org/2013/01/06/168565111/antibalas-cooking-up-afrobeat-in-a-sweltering-kitchen
