About
Palm Bay International World Beat Series
Please join us in the lobby for a wine tasting courtesy of Palm Bay International before the show!
ZAP MAMA, the Afro-European vocal quartet, and ANTIBALAS, the pioneers of Afrobeat, will come together to celebrate the evolution of contemporary Afro music. The groups have collaborated with numerous artists including Black Thought, Questlove, Erykah Badu and Common. Individually, ZAP MAMA & ANTIBALAS incorporate a multitude of genres — together the result is unmatchable. This performance will combine the vocal technique and European polyphony of ZAP MAMA with ANTIBALAS’ New York City Latin funk and traditional drumming of Cuba and West Africa.
