After a lengthy recording hiatus, Antibalas is back in the game with the release of a new 12-inch single on June 7, 2011. Recorded at Don’t Trip Studios in Gowanus, Brooklyn, and produced by Victor Axelrod, the 12-inch features an innovative arrangement of the Bob Marley classic “Rat Race”, along with “Se Chifló”, a lively, swinging tune that revives the links between Afrocuban music and Afrobeat, featuring Spanish vocals by Marcos García. Side B features dub mixes of each song, as well as bonus breakbeats.

This is a great documentary that serves as a brilliant introduction not only to the amazingly funky rhythm’s of Fela’s contribution to music i.e. Afro-Beat, but also to the ragged state of African Politics.
Fela was a brilliant musician but in addition to this he offered a vision of a new Nigeria that was free of totalitarian control and promoted an African identity free from western influence.
The doc. itself is well put together and features some exciting performances live from Fela’s club which is worth the admission price alone.
Check it out.
