Fall 2015 Residency at Brooklyn Bowl

Eighteen years ago, the seeds of Antibalas were sown in Williamsburg, Brooklyn. This October 28, the band will return to its old stomping grounds for four consecutive Wednesdays at the Brooklyn Bowl.

Each week's set will feature a different selection of Antibalas classics from our five albums, deep cuts from 45s and singles, unreleased material and covers, and new songs from our new album-in-progress. We've also invited a different guest collaborator each week to cook up some new musical surprises.

Brooklyn Bowl 61 Wythe Avenue Brooklyn, NY, 11249
