N’DOdO are the reincarnation of the group NO DODO who played gigs across the North West in the 90s.
They are led by drummer Iain Hunter and rhythm is very much at the heart of the band, which also features guitars and saxophones, and perform a blend of afro/jazz/rock
Iain reformed the band in the late noughties as N'DOdO, still keeping the same ethos of playing lively dance music based on the playing of the likes of Dudu Pukwana and Assagai, Osibisa, Manu Dibango, Abdullah Ibrahaim, and Oliver Mtukudzi. Pieces are also created by members of the band to create a strong musical palette.
