absolutely! Spot on, and there are indeed a lot of recent bands inspired by Classic Afrobeat/Highlife producing amazing stuff nowadays, such as Newen Afrobeat, Afro Social Club, Ojibo Afrobeat, Albinoid Afrobeat Orchestra, etc. The future of excellent music is no doubt in good hands. Cheers from Uruguay
That transition between Dide O and Age of Ascent is masterful. I just want to be wrapped up in it. I can't believe the pandemic ruined my chance to catch you all in Los Angeles two or three years ago. Nevertheless, I am grateful ya'll are still creating!

Here you go :) Timestamps: 0:00 - Tojo 2:25 - Carry Me Home 10:28 - Dide O 15:15 - Age of Ascent 21:50 - Baba Ayoola Band members: Drums: Ayo Salawu Bass: Duane Atherley Percussion: Onome Edgeworth Keys: Yohan Kebede Guitar: Toby Adenaike Alto sax: Cassie Kinoshi Trombone: Richie Seivwright Trumpet: Sheila Maurice-Grey
So excited for them finally trickling shows into US. I learned how to play this on drums. But what I really learned was how INSANE Ayo Salawu is in drums. What a BEAST!!!
There was a young man playing guitar on Kokoroko "Colonial Mentality"/Sofar, London who played this WONDERFUL solo. I've not seem him again. I wish he would come back. He looked about sixteen but the solo was so musical it showed a maturity way beyond his years. Where'd he go?
...Trane? I'd go with Fela + Tony Allen on this one. Best thing about this band (besides their obviously stonking music) is they are 'real people'. Totally relatable Londoners.
This is why i LOVE youtube rabbit holes, Someone suggested one of the sisters in the band-since she was playing with Nubya Garcia on her Tiny Desk (bomb set as well!). Mentioned this group. Love the work :) gorgeous women!
Very tasteful, my the true art forum of music continue to live on. As a musician sometimes it feels like real music has died,but hearing these talented musicians I’m appreciative ❤❤❤
It's a breath of fresh air see and hear actual musicians actually singing and playing actual musical instruments!!!!💯😍💕❤👍💖 Need a break from that artificially generated noise!!
aight - OKAY - thanks you for the breath of spring freshness, exuding like lilacs blossoming at the base of a willow tree. Refracting is the vibration of excellence as a zephyr breeze at ease.

Kokoroko shows the world that the future of "excellent" music is in very good hands.
Ikrr

The bass player in this band is incredible.
Oh yes for sure ! Fantastic bass lines and he is so deep in the pocket
Oh 100%, could be the grooviest I've ever heard
Duane Atherley. Also done some great work with Kamaal Williams
All of them

Representative, skilled, soulfull sound , you guys are the best, for real. thank you. Music saves. Your music saves.
There is still hope in music.
Basslines so smooooth. Damm bassist is a magician and a musician 😎
For real
There was a young man playing guitar on Kokoroko "Colonial Mentality"/Sofar, London who played this WONDERFUL solo. I've not seem him again. I wish he would come back. He looked about sixteen but the solo was so musical it showed a maturity way beyond his years.
Where'd he go?
This was everything!!
One of my favorite bands
That moment on the last song when the keys start with the lead solo creates a amazing atmosphere
They are incredible! I cannot get enough!
Just discovered these talented ladies and I'm in love with the vibe!! 💖💖💖
Me too a real soul satisfaction 💕
Man the vibe reaches deep in the soul of me.Reminds me of John Coltrain ,a man ahead of his time.

This is one of the bests bands of the moment.
No words for this. I'm floating.
Great music to dominate in the U.S. You should play with Esperanza Spalding. Your sounds compliment each other. Beautiful.
