Kokoroko are part of the thriving scene that’s grown out of London’s young, jazz-influenced musical circles. Led by bandleader Sheila Maurice-Grey, their self-titled EP is the group’s first solo release, following their early 2018 debut with ‘Abusey Junction’, a track that has gone on to accrue over 15 million plays on RUclips and 2.6 million on Spotify. Across the EP’s four tracks, the eight-piece deliver on the promise of that memorable introduction, offering a bigger vision of their Afrobeat-influenced, soulfully-imbued sound, West African roots shaded with inner London hues.
‘Abusey Junction’ was first featured on We Out Here, the 2018 Brownswood compilation documenting London’s bright-burning, jazz-influenced musical underground, picked by Rough Trade as Compilation of the Year 2018, and praised by The Wire, Monocle and the New York Times. Writing and performing as a group since 2014, Kokoroko have played at iconic venues from Ronnie Scott’s, performed at the festival, Afropunk, and toured in Brazil, Colombia and France. Inspired by Fela Kuti, Ebo Taylor, Tony Allen and the great sounds that come out of West Africa, Kokoroko put on a performance to honour the masters that taught them.
Man, I am so glad there is music like this to silence the noise of governments, armies and complexes.
thank you kokoroko for creating music that is medicine for any bad mood !
just hearing this group for the first time. definitely a new favorite.
I think I just robbed a Las Vegas casino owner with my 13 equally skilled friends and not only made it out but had enough time to make a montage of our crime and all the parts we each played in our intricate,way over the top plans.
I love going back to this song every few weeks, it feels like it refreshes my soul
Battle of Adwa!! the place of the Ethiopian defeat of the Italian Invaders!! We shall never forget the Great Ethiopian Warriors who list their lives in that Battle!
I saw an amazing framework in UK art gallery about that battle
Thanks for taking me back it reminds me of the old days and the old days are still new thanks to you modern version of a classical thing beautiful I love it😊
That intro always reminds me of The Doors, which is why I love this tune even more
I don't like how doors go squeeeek but no judgment here bud
That's a great song and album it reminds me the great Miles Davis..instinctive grooves and bright melodies.
Happy Adwa & long live kokoroko !! 🎉😁 .. if u know u know !
Waving my head like saturday's nights
Magic. I have never heard anything so beautiful. You have captured my heart Kokoroko. God bless.

I needed this in my life. Thank you very much gals n guys
This changes my energy - in a great way.
at first i was wondering, why the ocean on the cover, then it clicked. thats not at the beach, thats in the middle of the ocean, that wouldve been the view out of the ship from Africa. that view must have been burned into the minds of those who were forced on to the ships, not knowing where they were going or how long it would take. like you're in limbo
I've never heard of some the notes these folks play! Amazing.
A new one! I already know I will listen to this allll day
Very nice KOKOROKO, i love it.

0:45 is sampling another famous intro song.....and I can't find it...anyone?
Is it Kokoroko We are Here?
👍🏼
Nice
superb tune. i just hope you'll remain at this tempo, not sinking into slow depressive beats
Genial
I love your songs, really, but Tommy Guerrero in "Highway Hustle" makes something similar, or maybe is only my strange mind. Anyway, thank u for your music, always beautiful to hear!
every song in this genre of music sounds similar to each other
@@Triunity4 Yes, but I don't want to say is copied, just I think they know about it. I listen a lot of afrobeat and I know those are "similar" each other, but that groove... Just an opinion.
Is more like "inspiration to each other".
Change the description. Abusey Junktion have now 26 milion views, that's huge difference.
Loveit°!
Remembers me some of DiBongo's tunes
YES!
Funky shiiiiiiiiit!
nice
Whhhaaaat
