Ann Arbor's Afrobeat juggernauts NOMO garner indie cred from their longstanding affiliations with fellow Michiganders Saturday Looks Good to Me and His Name Is Alive. (NOMO members powered HNIA's well-received tribute to avant-garde sax man Marion Brown.) But the nine-member NOMO know groove-heavy jams best, and their live shows kill, where soulful vocals and the bell-like sounds of an electric mbira create a hypnotic, percussive whirlwind. From Broadway to indie blogs, the Afropop fixation is reaching critical mass; for the nine lifers in NOMO, it's simply always been a way of life.
