| Here we talk to Martin Perna one of the founders of Antibalas, an Afro-beat group that is celebrating 20 years of making music with a big tour this winter and all through 2019. Martin talks to us about the inspiration of Fela Kuti and about the challenges of Antibalas trying to work out from the shadow of that music genius. As he notes, Fela was a complex artist and Antibalas is much more than just a tribute to Fela. He shares with us how the group works to create new music, the dialogue between different instruments in the band's layered rhythmic music, and the challenges of putting lyrics on that music. |
