We are The Empire.

Brothers and compatriots, the members of El Imperio banded together following two years of performing together with the smash hit Tony Award-winning show Fela!, about the life and times of African music icon and activist Fela Kuti. Bringing a mix of styles from Afrobeat to Bachata, from Soul to Salsa, the band has created an intoxicating style all their own.
