In The Groove: Panda Bear and Bullion are a beautiful pairing, Antibalas grabs your attention
Listen to “In the Groove” with Ryan Patrick Hooper weekdays from noon-3 p.m. ET on Detroit Public Radio 101.9 WDET.
Thank you to everyone that called the station to say they love Antibalas as much as me. They are true Afrobeat kings keeping the spirit of Fela Kuti and Tony Allen alive.
A random thread of today’s show is Panda Bear of Animal Collective and his many gigs lending a voice to other peoples projects like Sonic Boom and Bullion, who released the excellent album Affection earlier this year on Michigan-grown label Ghostly International. Plus, I serve up a stunning cover of Prince’s “I Would Die 4 U” by Lauren Auder & Wendy & Lisa for a new project from Red Hot Org celebrating the trans experience through music.
