DETROIT FREE PRESS
Nomo pushes the envelope and comes up with something truly special. This one conjures up trailblazers Brian Eno (circa "Before and After Science") and Miles Davis (circa "On the Corner") and is utterly astonishing. Still driven by horns and percussion, Nomo is in formidable form on "Ghost Rock," one of the most audacious and spirited albums so far this year.

THE BOSTON GLOBE
Whatever you call their music, it's got an infectious groove the makes it impossible to keep your hips from swaying.

JAZZ TIMES
NOMO mixes various strains of great black music into a single blazing sun of sound, and right from the distorted sounds of the amplified kalimba that open the CD, you know NOMO is going to hit you with a hip-swiveling blast of righteous Afro-funk.

THE WASHINGTON POST
Elliot Bergman's Nomo is one of the tightest, swingingest Afrobeat world-jazz bands on the planet.

MAGNET
It’s party music of the first order, locking into a groove so deep you can practically feel the sweat.

FADER
When “Better Than That” came in with what sounded like a conga and a Coke bottle percussion duet I sat up on the futon, then I got smoked by both the ensuing free jazz saxophone solo and the mbira passage. I stayed with the music, all the way though to “The Seams” and “La La La”—the album’s two brief final songs that masterfully explore both the band’s astro potential and their sure-footed soul foundations.

XLR8R
Subtly shifting time signatures and grooves, and outfitted with more than capable soloists, Nomo sounds fresh in an otherwise saturated market.

URB
Elliot Bergman leads these 17 Detroit musicians bangin’ blowin’ and honkin’ through some funk and afrobeat hot enough to melt a Midwest blizzard.

J'ai beaucoup aimé votre style et votre présence ! Désolé ne n'avoir pas pu assister à la fin de votre concert pour vous saluer in situ mais j'espère une prochaine fois à la "Pamparina" ou ailleurs en France avec une p'tite jam ! Bon été à vous tous et bonne route !
Encore bravos et merci pour ce plaisir ! B§B

Michael Jackson died and that night I had a dream, I dreamed that I was on top of a bike with ET in the basket, woke sad because it was just a fucking dream. For breakfast I had a revelation: it is easy to criticize, but it is not easy to take a picture with the ET
I called the computer, it crashed, reboot and have fun with the coolest artist that ET has the hands.

listen: Michael, jesus and me
love, affection, samba!

kisses and hugs.

The new single from Mukatsuku Records by Kaleta & Akoya Afrobeat - The Spirit Of Fela Is Alive And Well ! MUKAT 014 is out now on 180 gram vinyl !

listen to the release now !!

http://www.juno.co.uk/products/The-Spirit-Of-Fela-Is-Alive-Well/351680-01/

http://www.juno.co.uk/labels/Mukatsuku/

This is the review in DJ Magazine...

Kaleta & Akoya Afrobeat
The Spirit Of Fela Is Alive & Well
Mukatsuku Records
4/5
An explosive slice of Afrobeat from Kaleta gets the licensing thumbs up from Mukatsuku, who finally get this gem to the Fela faithful. Originally clocking in at over 14 minutes, its been chopped virtually in half to add more punch and immediacy, whilst on the flip Guynamite and label boss Nik Weston add a more contemporary boogie house twist to the original, in doing so losing none of the vitality or the 'Fela' essence.
