NYC Performances 11/15-16 with Antibalas at Brooklyn Bowl

Back to Brooklyn this week for two shows at the Brooklyn Bowl with Antibalas. It is always strange going back to this neighborhood. I started the band there 26 years ago, over a generation ago, and the landscape has changed so much such that certain blocks are completely unrecognizable and looking at a street sign on the corner is only more disorienting.

We will be performing music from a forthcoming new album on Daptone Records, and some songs from way back in our catalog.

Thirteen New Songs with Antibalas

Last November we did ten days of writing workshop in New York, played the songs over the past year live at stages across the world, and gathered at Studio G in Brooklyn to record as many of them as were ready.

These recordings will compose the next two Antibalas albums. Expect to hear the first in a few months, around mid-2023.

My bandmate Amayo and I were interviewed by NPR’s Scott Simon of Weekend Edition to discuss our latest Antibalas album “Fu Chronicles.” LISTEN:

New Collab: "Prisma Tropical" : Balún feat. Antibalas Horns

Congratulations to Balún on the release of their new album "Prisma Tropical"  (out 7/20/2018).

I was honored to be invited to the studio with the Antibalas horns, recording arrangements by trumpeter and Antibalas bandmate Eric Biondo for the song "Pulsos."

The rough mixes of the record sounded fantastic and otherworldly. I'm so happy this crew is making music and that this record will be soon out in the world.
