U.N. (United Nonsense)

A 4 track afrobeat album (46m 52s) — released December 15th 2023 on Believe! International

The Swedish Malmö-based Afrobeat band Olumo Soundz offer an explosive and evocative groove at each and every show with its twelve musicians and own repertoire. Their music is firmly rooted in the conscious, danceable and soulful sounds of predecessors Fela and Femi Kuti. U.N. (United Nonsense) – the band's debut album – is a celebration of a great tradition, but ultimately a fresh take on a vibrant genre. The music on the album is a joyous announcement of awareness, resistance and faith.
