Brooklyn’s own Afropop-funk-dance big band Antibalas, is probably your favorite band’s favorite band. The 12-piece plus ensemble ranges freely through all kinds of funk, Afro-Cuban music, loping rhythms of Ethiogroove, Caribbean dance, punk rock, and extraplanetary cosmic jazz. And that’s in addition to having been credited with introducing Afrobeat (in the tradition of the late Nigerian saxophonist, singer, bandleader and activist Fela Kuti) to a global audience.
The collective was born in the late 1990’s in a Brooklyn warehouse/cheesecake factory that also incubated the Dap Kings and TV on the Radio. Since that time Antibalas has performed with Afro-Cuban, avant-classical, soul, funk, rock, rap, reggae, and pop music stars: Jovanotti, Mark Ronson, Santigold, Beyonce, Angelique Kidjo, My Morning Jacket, Zap Mama, Bruno Mars, The Roots, Medeski, Martin and Wood, David Byrne and St. Vincent. They have also served as the house band and musical directors for the Broadway show Fela!, in addition to being the house band at Carnegie Hall at tribute shows performing the music of Paul Simon (2014), David Byrne and Talking Heads (2015) and Aretha Franklin (2017). – Caryn Havlik for WNYC New Sounds
They are touring in support of the new release, Fu Chronicals. Recorded last Summer, over 17 musicians and singers crammed into the storied Daptone House of Soul in Bushwick to record the massive body of work.
The ArtsPark at Young Circle is located in a 10-acre circle named after the City's founder, Joseph Wesley Young at US 1 and Hollywood Boulevard in downtown Hollywood. Dedicated in March 2007, the ArtsPark offers residents and visitors a wide array of visual and performing arts themed educational, recreational, and entertainment activities.
The Rhythm Foundation was founded with the goal of increasing international awareness through live music. Special focus is given to those cultures connecting to South Florida audiences – music from Latin America, Brazil, the Caribbean, Africa and Europe. The range of programs covers music at the heart of global culture today to traditional music of the world. The Rhythm Foundation also works to build and strengthen diverse South Florida communities through shared cultural experiences.
The Hollywood Community Redevelopment Agency (CRA) is a government agency that stimulates private investment and economic growth, upgrades public infrastructure and spaces, mobilizes community stakeholders, and partners with local government agencies to provide leadership for the districts.
