Sunset Concerts: Antibalas

More than twenty years have passed since Antibalas launched as a neighborhood dance and protest band in pre-gentrified Williamsburg, Brooklyn. Since then, the band has evolved into what the Guardian calls, “one of the world’s finest Afrobeat bands,” collaborating with music’s biggest stars, including Beyoncé, Paul Simon, and David Byrne. The horns in the Bruno Mars earworm, “Uptown Funk?”—that’s part Antibalas.
