ALBINO!

ALBINO! is proud to announce the release of its first studio album, Rhino. As the title implies, Rhino captures ALBINO’s trademark “Heavy Heavy Afrobeat” grooves at their phattest. This disc levels dance floors like a steamroller and is guaranteed to have your tusks a-bobbin’. Rhino produced by Bruce Buchanan, ALBINO! co-founder and 15 year veteran of the Bay Area Afrobeat scene at Big Hut Productions in Berkeley, CA. The CD was mixed by Dan Prothero (Galactic, Stanton Moore, Robert Walter). Check out the Rhino samples in our on-site music player!

Winner of the SF Music Award for "Best World Music", ALBINO! has performed to capacity crowds up and down the West Coast and as far east as Chicago. ALBINO!'s brand of afrobeat reminds music lovers of what it feels like to groove, and without fail, inspires audiences to let go and absorb the ecstatic energy that pours from the stage whenever this funk-fueled juggernaut performs.

ALBINO! is more than a band, ALBINO! is a community. Wherever Albino goes, our sense of community and interconnectedness radiates throughout our audience. It may sound like a bunch of lightweight hippy shit but the equation is very simple, and it's the truth. Love, respect and a common goal amongst all of Albino's members creates an atmoshere of... well, love, respect and a common vision with our audiences. The feeling is contagious and this recipe has enabled ALBINO! to become one of the West Coast's most sought after live music acts in only a year since its inception.
