Nomo- Ghost Rock (2008)

 

More for the afrobeat fiend! Nomo is an eight piece band with an afro sound that derives more from electronic influence and amplified instruments. The band still includes traditional instruments i.e. congas, cajon, what have you, but there's still this definite avant-funk kind of shit going on: electric guitar and bass, and a free flowing and comanding horn section. So while Antibalas is more of the walking-down-the-boardwalk-and-fighting-the-power kind of shtick, you could say Nomo is it's less agressive and more fun loving counterpart. A really great example of this is the album's title track, as well as "Last Beat," a favorite from the record. It's Africa at its finest! Enjoy.
