Combo Lulo

Combo Lulo moves side to side from effortless Jamaican foundation rhythms into the further reaches of Caribbean influence…incorporating a natural transition between Jamaican classics and the essence of Afro-Latin ritmo and finding a common thread between styles like Cumbia, Rocksteady, Dub, Ethiojazz and Afrobeat. Originally conceived as only a recording project, Combo Lulo was first convened to record a handful of songs for the Brooklyn based label Names You Can Trust (NYCT). A veritable who's who of the NYC music scene, Combo Lulo’s members are veteran musicians with deep and nuanced understanding of the styles and traditions being referenced, with the results speaking for themselves. Now an in-demand live act in NYC, Combo Lulo’s core consists of current and former members of groups like Antibalas, the Easy Star Allstars, the Skatalites, Charles Bradley & the extraordinaires and the Far East, among others. Now in 2021 Combo Lulo finally brings forth their debut album, Neotropic dream, as a continuation of their visionary blend of styles via the Names You Can Trust label.
