On March 31, Antibalas was the house band for the Paul Simon Tribute Concert at Carnegie Hall. We got to work with 15 artists, and we picked one song. Tunde Adebimpe joined us for our version of "Think Too Much" on Paul Simon's Hearts and Bones album. We performed it live at Carnegie Hall. Our friend Jen Mazer was able to capture the performance of the song the previous night at the warm-up concert at City Winery. Enjoy.
