We aren’t as lucky as Meme Magazine, who got five new Ubiquity releases in their mailbox, yet we’re still content to provide the opening track of the new Nomo album Invisible Cities, provided that I’m a huge fan of Nomo and their brand of Post-Fela afrobeat. With three HQ live videos..

I’m a huge fan of Michigan’s Nomo, No.7 on my last.fm after a total of ~110K listens, which means something. I’ve been listening to their new one Ghost Rock for a month or so and it’s simply another amazing album under their belt. I first heard the term Post Fela Afrobeat while reading reviews of their previous album “New Tones” on the net.

One of the recent releases from the famed Downtempo/Nujazz label Ubiquity is Michigan’s Nomo, an 8 piece afrobeat/nujazz orchestra with an extensive brass section.
