The Band

AKT ANDO is a multicultural Hip-Hop group, which incorporates Jazz and Latin music creating an innovative proposition.

They use the mixture of electronic and acoustic sounds combined with a universal message of humanity and peace through concerts full of energy by offering this fusion, their lyrics combine the English, Spanish and French languages.

“The name is derived from two words: ‘AKT’ which is a contraction of the word ‘Active’ in English and ‘ANDO’ which is the suffix in Spanish which means a running action.
