http://afropopshop.org<img src='http://files.afropopshop.org/images/86016/security.jpg'>What do you get when you pair up one of the most critically acclaimed and hardest-working bands on the planet, Antibalas, with one of indie rock&rsquo;s most intricate and innovative producers, John McEntire (Tortoise, Stereolab, Tom Ze)...and let them play sonic tug-of-war in a studio for a month? The answer is Security, the fourth and newest full-length gem from this twelve-strong Brooklyn collective, who over the last decade have become known worldwide as much for their riveting afrobeat-laden concerts and social consciousness as for their previous albums and unique collaborations. Enticed by McEntire to explore and unleash sides not previously mined on earlier recordings, the seven new original compositions presented here illustrate perhaps a darker, more dynamic approach that&rsquo;s guaranteed to shock and dazzle new and old fans alike. This is music that was made to linger long after the party&rsquo;s over.Mon, 08 Sep 2008 08:39:50 -0500http://antibalas.afropopshop.org/#album_86016<img src='http://files.afropopshop.org/images/2692/talkatif.jpg'>The compositions in Talkatif are a true testimony of the band's relentless dedication to preserving the unique and pure soul of Afrobeat.Mon, 08 Sep 2008 08:39:50 -0500http://antibalas.afropopshop.org/#album_2692<img src='http://files.afropopshop.org/images/2708/liberation_afrobeat.jpg'>Monstrous horns and bass layered over funky polyrhythmic beats and breaks coupled with furious lyrics challenging and attacking the dehumanizing capitalist system & inciting insurrection in English, Yoruba, and Spanish.<p> Afropop Classic: 'Uprising'Mon, 08 Sep 2008 08:39:50 -0500http://antibalas.afropopshop.org/#album_2708
