Antibalas Afrobeat Orchestra is a Bushwick, Brooklyn based afrobeat band that is modelled after Fela Kuti's Africa 70 band and Eddie Palmieri's Harlem River Drive Orchestra. Although their music is primarily afrobeat, their music incorporates elements of jazz, funk, dub, improvised music, and traditional drumming from Cuba and West Africa. (quoting wikipedia)

The Internet Archive hosts 15 Antibalas live recordings which are all available for free download. So, what are you waiting for? If you wonder which to try first, Live at Culture Room on 2003-04-28 is not a bad place to start.
