I was getting ready to do a post on Kokolo, an afrobeat orchestra I have plans to see on Thursday, when I noticed I hadn't mentioned Antibalas here yet.
Which is just wrong.
I've been wanting to see Antibalas for a while, but the geography has never quite worked out. No singing or video on this track, but still well worth a listen.
Antibalas Afrobeat Orchestra
"Go Je Je"
Government Magic
"Antibalas" is essentially "bulletproof" in Spanish, and the title of the EP, Government Magic, references a Fela Kuti song which (among other things) comments on the apparent magical realism between government accounts and the facts on the ground.
