Specially Priced Tickets For Antibalas Fans!!!

Fans and friends of Antibalas are able to get discounted tickets to what is sure to be one of the hottest shows on Broadway in years:
Go to http://www.felaonbroadway.com/antibalas for details.

Members of Antibalas have worked on the development of FELA! since its very beginning and continue to be involved as performing musicians on stage, the show's musical director, providing arrangements and composing additional music for the show.

Be sure to check it out!

“As played by the Brooklyn band Antibalas, standing in for the army of musicians that accompanied Mr. Kuti on his world tours, this is music that gets into your bloodstream, setting off vibrations you’ll live with for days to come.”
- The New York Times

“What really makes the show work is the music, fabulously delivered by Antibalas, a Brooklyn-based band that re-creates Fela's own songs (the international hit "Zombie" among them), adding some glorious embellishments along the way. Fela's lyrics, projected against the theater walls, make it easier to appreciate their social commentary.” - The New York Post

"the spirited onstage band Antibalas, featuring percussion and horns, propels the show through highlights of Kuti's action-packed life.” - The Associated Press

"They lead the pack..." Pitchforkmedia.com

True, some bands are simply meant to lead, and Brooklyn’s Antibalas--as tough and diverse as the city that birthed them nearly a decade ago--has continued to do just that. The group, whose name means “bulletproof” in Spanish, has indeed proved they possess the mettle to not only survive but also thrive by employing a musical arsenal that has become known worldwide. Initially using the revolutionary blueprint of afrobeat as a launching pad, the dozen-strong members of Antibalas weave a rich tapestry of latin, jazz, classical, funk and soul into their horn-driven mix. Words fail in trying to describe the result: simultaneously polyrhythmic and political, independent and contagious, and the reason why many have credited the band for introducing afrobeat’s framework to a new generation.

Always looking to push their unique sound further, however, Antibalas recently entered the studio to record their fourth album with much-heralded musician/producer John McEntire (Tortoise, Stereolab, Tom Ze). Holed up for a month in McEntire’s Chicago lair, the band explored and unleashed sonic sides of them not previously tapped. The resulting gem is guaranteed to shock and dazzle new and old fans alike, and will be forthcoming from ANTI- Records (no, not just because they share half a name), known for distinguished releases over the years from such artists as Solomon Burke, Tom Waits, the Refugee All-Stars and Blackalicious. The new album and record deal illustrate Antibalas’ penchant for taking chances, building upon a history of previous fiery album releases and recent, stunning collaborations with diverse heavyweights such as Medeski, Martin and Wood, TV on the Radio, Baaba Maal and Gomez.

As distinguished as their recordings may be though, Antibalas has truly become renowned via their relentless live show. And though it’s certainly no easy task to keep (and feed) such a vast ensemble on the road, the band has managed to average over 100 concerts a year, incessantly traversing the U.S, Canada and Europe in venues large and small be they the sweaty clubs of Brooklyn or in front of hordes of festival goers in places like Bonnaroo, Bumbershoot, Montreux and Roskilde. 2004 also bore witness to the group’s first-ever tour to Japan, as well as debuts at the Glastonbury and Coachella music festivals. It’s not by chance the Village Voice exclaimed “their music is right on time,” while the New York Times, the New Yorker, Rolling Stone Magazine and a slew of others have taken serious notice. Make no mistake, as XLR8R exclaims, Antibalas are indeed “the baddest on the block.”

Hello!

Deux grosses actus pour les jours à venir!!

Alors un peu de lecture ;)

Le 10 NOVEMBRE 2009 à 20:30 - CHANSON FRANCAISE AVEC MATHIEU BOOGAERTS

Sur son dernier opus « I love you », Mathieu Boogaerts a misé sur la simplicité, l’essentiel en réduisant la voilure sonore : basse, batterie, guitare et synthé, basta. Une nouvelle route s’offre à lui : « Aujourd’hui, je n’ai pas envie qu’on me dise que la musique de I love You est belle, mais qu’elle est sexy ». Cousinage avec l’electro-rock pour certains morceaux ou encore funk-rock mutant né dans les ruines du punk, Mathieu Boogaerts se fait plaisir et nous fait plaisir !

LE 14 NOVEMBRE 2009 à 20:30 - SOUL/JAZZ AVEC RAUL MIDON + JESSY RAMDINE

Seul sur scène, lunettes noires et guitare acoustique, RAUL MIDON bouleverse son public par son picking exceptionnel et ses prouesses vocales hors normes. Habité par le blues, la soul de Stevie Wonder et les arabesques du flamenco, cet artiste unique est à découvrir de toute urgence. En écoute à la médiathèque de Nanterre.www.myspace.com/raulmidon

JESSY RAMDINE, jeune artiste aux influences soul, R’n’b, se trouve très vite une passion pour le gospel et nous envoûte avec sa seule voix et une guitare sèche. En écoute à la médiathèque de Nanterre. www.myspace.com/jessyramdine

A très vite,
Musicalement, toute l'équipe de Maison Daniel Féry.
