With the goal of expanding the New York Afrobeat Scene, the band held a monthly jam session at the legendary Bitter End in NYC’s West Village in 2023. Armo served as the house band for

From its inception Afrobeat has been a music of resistance. The music of Fela Anikulapo Kuti has historic ties to the civil rights movement in the United States, and the importance of art in fueling social movements is as vital as ever. This weekend long celebration of rhythm and joy will embody the ideals of embracing our shared humanity to the fullest.
