A band that can fill the stage with upwards of 10 people, Umoja is a mix of jazz, Latin, afro-beat, and funk; this, even, is too confining. And with an array of styles, people of all castes and colors flock together as one in a sea of positivity.’Umoja means Unity,’ as the band always assures their fans. When I first met with Umoja it was in a very intimate setting, the band members layered across a living room couch. As I listened to them talk, I realized the band was righteous and honest. Saturday night, to kick off the completion of the first Umoja album, they played a CD release show. I was blown away. No longer did I hear what they had told me, I felt it; I was moved by it. Every person in the sold out show, and even those listening from the streets, shared my same view.
Umoja. Unity. Oneness. Call the power of love what you wish, but call Umoja a band with a gift.

we here at Avalon Recording Studios love Umoja Orchestra! come back and make some more hits this winter, will ya? the new room is hungry for some good Umojafication. Prover can fall asleep in the hallway again if he wants.
I can't (yet CAN) believe the great places your music is taking you all! We all knew it was a matter of time before the rest of the world got hip to you.
hey folks, this is tony (soundguy from Apache). just wanted to let all your fans know how well you did in Atlanta. It was a fantastic show, good vibes, great crowd, awesome music, and you guys are a super friendly group of musicians. It's always refreshing to work with people as kind and talented as you, seriously. From the time you showed up until you left it was all smiles and fun times. Very professional, very skilled musically, very easy going, it made my night. I'm glad you all enjoyed the Chinese Buddha, they make some great food. Don't be strangers to the A-town, I'll be here when you get back. Just keep making fond memories for your fans, and I'll see you next time, deal?
