O’s Notes: The Alma Afrobeat Ensemble is a large band with horns and mixed vocals centered on a rhythm section with Aaron Feder (g, keyboards), Fernando Redondo (b), Didier Roch (perc) and Gustavo Sassone (d, perc). Joe Psalmist is the primary vocalist across 13 mostly original songs on“Monkey See Monkey Do. They open with ‘Remember‘ containing a message and music that resonates and sets the stage for what’s to come, festive, syncopated beats and righteous messages with funky beats that will keep you on the dance floor. Our favorite is the all-out jam on ‘Stealin’‘.
