Antibalas

Rhythm is what makes a good Afrobeat record, says Gabriel Roth, Daptone Records co-founder, producer and connoisseur of all things funky. Not just the rhythm section, but the rhythm of the horns, the rhythm of the vocals, the rhythm of the keyboards, everybodys rhythm. Its not just being about being right or wrong in your rhythm, or being good at it, but its about feeling something the same way, swinging the same way, anticipating things the same way, and hitting things the same way everybody hearing music the same way, and being able to turn all those instruments into one voice.
