ARMO’s intimate and energetic sound focuses on classical and contemporary Afrobeat, featuring the works of Fela Anikulapo Kuti, Ebo Taylor, The Daktaris, and new directions set upon by Armo’s founders. This 6 piece band is an outgrowth of Afrobeat pioneers Antibalas featuring a revolving cast from the Daptone family and the NY Afrobeat Scene.

Depending on proximity the band features singer/keyboardist Amayo, trumpeter Jordan McLean, percussionist/vocalist Marcus Farrar, drummers Kevin Raczka and Greg Gonzalez, bassist Justin Kimmel, guitarist/keyboardist Nikhil P. Yerawadekar, bassist/guitarists Binky Griptite and Timothy James, and trombonist Smoota.

Collectively the members of this ensemble have performed thousands of concerts around the world on their own and as members of Antibalas, and have worked with such luminaries as David Byrne, Angelique Kidjo, Public Enemy, TV on The Radio, Sharon Jones & The Dapkings, and Ornette Coleman.
