Davido, Afrobeat music band Antibalas and The Fela Queens (from Chop and Quench) perform together on stage at the Lincoln center in New York.
The show put together by Okayafrica saw the acts amplify the rich sounds of Afrobeat/Afrobeats as it were to the sheer excitement of the audience.
The video showcases the ever growing impact and influence of Afrobeat sound in the world music scene.
Antibalas is a Brooklyn-based musical band modeled after the late Afrobeat pioneer and legend Fela Anikulapo Kuti's Africa 70 band and Eddie Palmieri's Harlem River Drive Orchestra. Although their music generally follows the musical architecture and language of afrobeat, it incorporates elements of jazz, funk, dub, improvised music, and traditional drumming from Cuba and West Africa.
