Orlando Primo, also known as Prince of The Drums, was born on December 12, 1986 at the David's Memorial Hospital, in Georgetown, Guyana, South America.
Being the seventh of eleven other siblings, Orlando Primo began playing drums at the tender age of seven with his brothers Jomo and Kurt as a beginner at the many thanksgiving services his father spearheaded. He was not really a quick learner at the drums, but his dad and brothers always remained spellbound at the melodious and stirring rhythms he created.
By age ten Orlando Primo was ready to take on the world as a young drummer and from there on improved rapidly until he became one of the most talented African drummer around. He soon became a household name, creating his own style and routines which always found favour with his audiences. In 2003 they formed a group called the Primo Brothers of which Orlando was made the 'second in command' even though he was still very young.
This group effortlessly won the E Kaabo kabiesi Competition in 2004, and placed second in the African Cultural Association Drumming Competition in 2005. In 2006 they again won the E Kaabo kabiesi Competition, and repeated that feat in 2007.
Since then Orlando Primo has greatly improved his act and has rapidly moved up the ranks to become one of the most talented and skillful African drummers not only in Guyana but as well as several neighboring countries.
