Antibalas


Brooklyn's Antibalas brought their eleven-piece afrobeat crew to a sold-out Lodge Room. Drawing from their latest Hourglass, a return to the instrumental roots that built their legend, Antibalas moved through groove after groove with the precision of a collective that's been refining this sound for nearly three decades. Between songs, the band lived up to their Fela Kuti roots, denouncing ICE and the machinery of deportation to a crowd that roared back in agreement. With over 2,000 performances across five continents, Antibalas carries that history in every note, and it was thrilling to experience it at Lodge Room.
