Antibalas' new studio album, 'Where The Gods Are In Peace', is an epic Afro - Western Trilogy. It's a musical journey seeking solace from American political opportunism, greed, and vengeance. The band's long - form compositions take a deep look at the oppression in 1800s America, which strangely reflects the current state of the nation. Three explosive original arrangements issue an urgent call to fix a broken system. Eventually, the music leads us to an island where love is our first reaction. A new ideology emerges, opening our hearts to the idea of living as one united people, where all gods are equal and we triumph together. True to the Afrobeat tradition, the album features compositions lasting 9 to 15 minutes, paying homage to the Afrobeat forefathers. With the blessing of the Fela Kuti legacy early in their career, Antibalas has been well - known for revitalizing the classic Afrobeat sound with a New York City edge. Influences from punk rock, free jazz, and hip - hop are evident in their works, defining a 21st - century interpretation of Afrobeat and more. The purchase includes a free digital download and a printed insert. It's released by Daptone Records in 2017.
