Biography
NOMO were a Michigan Afrobeat and funk collective formed in Ann Arbor in 2003 and led by multi-instrumentalist Elliot Bergman. A rotating cast of dozens surrounded a core octet, blending West African rhythms, avant-garde jazz and homemade electric kalimbas. After a self-titled debut in 2004, the band signed to #Ubiquity Records# and released 'New Tones' (2006), 'Ghost Rock' (2008) and 'Invisible Cities' (2009), earning a reputation as a formidable live act before activity wound down.
