Seattle Weekly, Antibalas, DJ Darek Mazzone >>
In 2003 it's a fonk's, fonk's, fonk's world, and Afrocentricity rules. Not even counting the rare reissue deluge via esoteric comps like Afro-rock or the two-volume Black & Proud: The soul of the Black Panther Era, we've got contemporary outfits like the Antibalas Afrobeat Orchestra. These renegade funkateers hijack George Clinton's Mothership for an ethno-delic, polyrhythmic adventure that commmences in the sweaty lofts of Brooklyn's funk/soul Daptone Records crew and winds up in the steamy jungles of Mama Africa. You want soul? Raw but silky-sweet delights herein. Funk? Horny horns never hornier, stanky grooves never stankier. Jazz? Right on. Roll over Dark Magus, and tell Fela Kuti the news. 06/29/03
