Antibalas: NPR Music Tiny Desk Concert

[@TheMinster63]

I challenge anyone to see them live and stand still. Can't happen. You will dance!

[@just_mari5600]

I moved my leg which I think counted as dancing

[@clacicle]

I saw them in the late 90s in NYC. Everybody and everything moved in that hall.

[@opethatsmyleg]

Just recently saw em in Brooklyn….so good I bought a ticket for the next night. So happy I did, these guys are such an experience. Couldn’t. Stop. Moving.

[@djmfilms1999]

[@tekBeatz01]

Fela's spirit lives on...this is Antibalas, and they're awesome!

[@mikeeliades2596]

Love them great band

[@stephenzener819]

a band made for gyrations, joy and getting one in the mood vibes along with the great music and performance as well. Seen them in Toronto a number of times. Always a great night. Long live Afrobeat in the singular.

Antibalas rocks. Saw them in an open air concert in Miami Beach and they were amazing! See them if you can.

[@elyduran1426]

[@gloverelaxis]

I saw them in Perth after having been a huge fan for a few years. Was absolutely blown away to discover the drummer was so young and white lol. Such a sick live show.

[@wendellmoore9299]

[@migdel]

Blindado and no bullshit can come through-bulletproof. Antibalas, yeah!!!

[@AnitaStewart405]

AWESOME!

[@luifranco1457]

I’ve loved these guys since I bought a 45 from the Daptone Records website several years ago. I put my own spin to the backing vocals on Dirty Money when I sing along to it, and sing “NO JODAN!” in the Chorus. If you speak Latin American, you’ll know it makes a lot of sense 🤣

[@igorpetrowski85]

Merci

[@johnk8356]

Pure gyration(grove). I hail una. Your hands will not fall

[@MoPoppins]

SUPER tight band....amazing!

[@BenBenCaro]

If you guys like the sound, check out Chico Mann, Superhuman Happiness, EMEFE, all other projects by different members of the group. These guys are crazy talented.

C u on Saturday in Dublin 🙌🏽

[@cheeseburgerphone]

YES!!

[@MrHSCHAE]

Somehow had to think of them while watching the fanfare ciocarlia (Roma brass band) tiny desk. Very different stylistically but both are dope. Fanfare is a tad on the crazy side, still I'd very much recommended checking them out!

[@marinanunez6599]

Love it!

[@Liserhoops]

Yeah, we were thinking maybe he is in the witness protection program or something. :) Love, love love this Tiny desk concert.

[@trista4congress827]

NIIIICEEE.... About the closest thing we're gonna get to FELA KUTI !!!

[@Hofodikfo]

[@GeneralMetalz]

I'm working on a paper in a library...and I almost got up and started singing the chorus to Dirty Money
