Antibalas is a Brooklyn ensemble associated with [[Afrobeat]]. Its large-band dance music developed in local party and protest settings and became part of the genre's international performance network.<ref name="anti-daptone">[https://daptonerecords.com/artists/antibalas/ Daptone: Antibalas biography and discography]. Accessed 23 October 2026.</ref><br />
<br />
== History ==<br />
Saxophonist Martín Perna founded the group in 1998. Early personnel overlapped with the musicians around Desco and Daptone; after ''Talkatif'' (2002), touring increasingly carried the ensemble beyond New York. The band's history connects neighborhood musical organization with a much wider concert circuit.<ref name="anti-daptone" /><br />
<br />
== Music and repertoire ==<br />
The ensemble works within the Afrobeat lineage associated with [[Fela Kuti]], using interlocking rhythm-section parts and horn writing as a framework for dance and vocal address. Its Brooklyn setting is an adopted musical community rather than a Nigerian place of origin. ''Fu Chronicles'' (2020), ''Where the Gods Are in Peace'' (2017) and ''Hourglass'' (2025) document successive periods of the recording catalogue.<ref name="anti-daptone" /><br />
<br />
== Members and collaborators ==<br />
Perna's saxophone and organizing role were foundational. Earlier contributors include Gabriel Roth, Binky Griptite, Victor Axelrod and Nick Movshon. Duke Amayo became a central percussionist and frontman before leaving in 2021. These are historical roles within a changing large ensemble, not a claim that all those musicians appear on every recording.<ref name="anti-daptone" /><br />
