Consumer Guide Reviews:

Antibalas Afrobeat Orchestra: Liberation Afro Beat Vol. 1 [Ninja Tune, 2001]
musically Fela's a great role model, politically don't be so sure ("Dirt and Blood," "Uprising") ***

Who Is This America? [Ropeadope, 2004]
Mostly instrumentals, and no longer do they fade into nothingness up against Fela ("Indictment," "Obanla'e"). *

Security [Anti-, 2007] Dud
