Zap Mama and Antibalas

Tuesday, February 17th will see the union of two amazing musical acts in celebration of Afrobeat music onstage at the Rio Theatre in Santa Cruz. Zap Mama and Antibalas will come together as one band.

Marie Daulne's voice is her instrument as Zap Mama, and she uses it to incorporate polyphonic and African vocals into contemporary music. Antibalas, founded by Martín Perna in 1998, is a band comprised of multi-instrumentalists that fuse Afrobeat with funk and jazz.
