Antibalas is a 14-piece musical collective based in Brooklyn, NY. The
group is dedicated to furthering the legacy of afrobeat, a creation of
Nigerian legend Fela Anikulapo-Kuti that combines West African
percussion, Latin horns, jazz, and funk.

Due to its incendiary live shows, Antibalas has become one of the
most respected independent acts in the music business. The band
performed at this summer's prestigious Montreux and Newport jazz
festivals on the strength of its acclaimed second album, Talkatif. The
group also received national exposure in the past year from NPR's "All
Things Considered" and Public Radio International's "World Cafe."

Antibalas' Midwest tour in October will visit Chicago, Milwaukee, and St.
Louis but also Minneapolis and Nebraska for the first time. Notably, the
band is performing in Lincoln instead of Lawrence, KS or Kansas City
before it heads to St. Louis -- an unusual event considering the history
of live performances in the Midwest.

The concert is on October 15th at 9 p.m. at the Royal Grove, 340 West
Cornhusker Hwy, Lincoln. Doors open at 8 p.m. Attendees must be 19
or older. The cost is $15 at the door or $12 with a flier/handbill.

The concert is supported, in part, by the Berman Music Foundation of
Lincoln.
