Ok. This just appeared in my timeline today, 2/15/24. WHY is this my first time hearing this absolutely wonderful musical group?? As someone said, I can hear Fela's influence all over this piece!!💕💕💕
Everything about this is beautiful. It may just be me, but I cant help but to think of my ancestors, and how far we have come and how resilient, brilliant, and beautiful we are.
@@stilodrom tra il 1988 ed il 90. Al quasar. credo novembre. Non tanta gente, l ambiente non era un granché, credo che molti che erano lì non lo conoscevano. Per noi fu una serata straordinaria. Impressa nella memoria. Grande Fela
No non Umbria jazz. D'altronde si tiene a luglio e io ricordo era novembre credo. Venni a saperlo quasi per caso. Studiavo li e mi raggiunsero una diecina di amici da varie parti d'Italia per l'evento.
First of all, great performance. It satisfies my soul! Secondly, thank you to whoever knew how to mic their instruments properly so we could get this beautiful sound! It sounds so lovely! Like I was actually there!
What lucky people to have witnessed this. Cudos to the recording engineers - the sound quality is so full, despite the room looking like a challenge, sonically. I came here by accident, but I'll be following up on this collective.
Thanks! It's all about the right mic choice and placement. I can't believe how many views this video has now. I was paid £60 for the night and the band were paid nothing. Don't support Sofar.
I really needed this in my life today!!! This band is fantastic! I don’t know how the crowd can sit so still! I’d have to get up and dance at one point!
Stick with it. Your instrument is you "ticket" to travel and meet people to go higher in life. Stay focused dating, tho normal will have to set aside. Education and increasing your "tickets" value at this time is what's important and must be built now. Look kid, life is a trip, if you got talent and sense to study, have time tools and make ...hence MAKE a way to invest in your gift, it will give for a life time. You don't have to been a "known celeb", that's another platform. Your GIFT , beset right, kept healthy and respected and above all appreciated bmas angift from the creator....YOUR GIFT WILL SUSTAIN YOUR LIFE. Remember, Practice before rehearsal. Learn more than one instrument and avenue in the entertainment field. Don't drink and stash your gig money away. Stay safe and focused and know by your ish. Be well Brass.
Are you going to upgrade to a double horn? As for singing through your horn, if you hum a fifth while playing the root, you can get the 3rd in as a sympathetic vibration and play a chord.
I can't understand how they can sit on the floor, hearing such a groove! this music is made to dance, not to be listened to without even a nod of the head !! get up and move your bodies!!
In the crowd's defense, it looks like a restaurant/lounge type of vibe. Not really condusive to dancing. You dont have to get on the dance floor to appreciate true talent. A head nod while enjoying an adult beverage works just as well.
That’s because this is a Sofar Sounds concert, and the whole point of them is to provide opportunities to hear musicians live in a setting where the entire focus is on the music, without any distractions.
Trips me out how people just be sitting there, not bobbin their head 😂or nothing. That’s so hard for me to do. I can not even not smile when I hear groovy tunes. My insides are like let’s jam, man 💃🏿 🕺🏿
This came on autoplay while I was doing some work.... was loving it so came to see what it is... Being met with beautiful black women playing instruments was f'in brilliant. Absolutely loved this. x
They are some of the most gifted black women on the earth - we are the queens! of talent and beauty! Black men you better recognize the QUEEN OF QUEENS!
This is what I've been waiting for since I heard Fela in the early 70s! This group,these incredible young musicians are carrying the great tradition of Afropop into the future! I cannot tell you how exciting it is to see 3 women in a horn section that can also solo and improvise with the best of players! I've always been a fan and supporter of music from anywhere in the African diaspora! This is the new "IT" for me! Thanks for posting! Peace Maestro
WHAT POWER!! I understand that the vibe of sofar is very chill and minimal but I wouldn’t be able to help myself from jumping up and grooving to these sound waves. Absolutely ecstatic grooves. Much love!!!!
Eric Robinson Oh My! its an absolute Joy to watch. Each Sister shows their personalities in their instruments. Very Empowering vibe for All our young aspiring Black sisters
Blacknificent SiStar power!!! I wish the cameras had gotten some shots of the cat on the drums, especially when he was throwing some extra spicy groves in mix.
Leave all that stress behind, you are at that area of youtube where the music cool, drinks are not watered and cheap as heck, atmosphere is great and the people are beyond cool. sit back, put those headphones, close your eyes and go on that journey.....
These Gals Are Simply Magnificent ❤Buddy Guy would Love them. If they went to his club Ledgens in Chicago he would invite them on the Club stage & Say take my Club over tonight. ❤ I think Chicago would welcome them with Open Arms🎶🎺🎷🥁🎶🎵
I wore locks for 14 years and I cut them off and wore my hair naturally curly for about 6 years. I miss my locks tremendously so I decided to relock. I'm on my second week of my locks and I feel amazing. I don't need to look like someone else I need to look and be who I am. I have beautiful hair. Black women you have beautiful hair ,plus you save a lot of money to do some other things such as traveling......
How can a human being dislike such a powerful piece of work like this one? Look at the girl in the middle, JUST LOOK AT HER EYES AS SHE PLAYS! She's feeling every single note so intensily it makes me wanna pick up my guitar just to get in tune with the same vibration! Those sounds are a force of nature!
Amen! Don't take Thumbdowners personal...they are not in the Vibe Baby...everyone has their journey. They'll get there om their time. In the meantime, Let No-Thing take you out of the VIBE and enjoy the rode😁💖💖💖🙏🏽✌🏽✌🏽✌🏽
This is amazing. It's very rare to find women playing instruments, many play the piano. So i am glad to see this amazing band, they are as awesome as their sound!!!
I think people are more self conscious these days. When I hear music on the street, I always groove out because I am well past the age of caring what other people think. It’s a great place to be, “dance like nobody’s watching”
OoooOOOOOWWW!!! GOD BLESS OUR MAMA AFRICA---& GOD BLESS THESE BEAUTIFUL QUEENS!!! I'm SO VERY THANKFUL to have discovered these splendid musicians today!!! Thank you, GOD-& thank YOU, my sisters. Special blessings to you, friend, for giving us this video. 💙💖💖💖💖 💖💖💖💚
Fucking fire!!! As a white English man it brings joy to my heart to see such strong talented and beautiful African women. Blessed to have stumbled upon this one.
It’s refreshing to see Black women without blond weaves or trying to mimic European so called standards of beauty. A Black women’s true beauty can’t be denied. Much respect!!
One in a million production. It all came together perfectly to create something immensely entertaining. The musicians nailed it. The sound engineer nailed it. The video editor nailed it. The garb and look of the three lovely horn players was incredibly exotic. Their moves. Hot. Sweaty. A groove that captivated my 15 month old grandson. Could not take my ears off of the solos. Guitarist had a very unique solo too. I only wish this band stayed together for a few years with this particular line up, look, and vibe. Great chemistry. I have listened and watched a dozen times and never get tired of watching. That is when you know you nailed it.

Sounds great!
It's the magic!
Tudo começou com um toque de sax bem suave, mas quando entraram os outros metais, o poder apareceu.
I love them🤩They are superstars!! So proud of these young musicians ❤
Keep on rising sistahs!!! See you at the Cape Jazz 2024
Ok. This just appeared in my timeline today, 2/15/24. WHY is this my first time hearing this absolutely wonderful musical group?? As someone said, I can hear Fela's influence all over this piece!!💕💕💕
With you❣️
Same here, only knew about them today.
Same here, just saw it appear this evening. They are now on my radar. They are pure FIRE 🤯🤩
Carrying on the Grateful Dead's sound of space!
I am really loving the head wraps too!
We heard that's to conceal their elongated skulls!
They must be ET visitors to have such a celestial sound!
Peace & Prosperity
Gosh I listen to this so often, it just puts me in such a good mood and a different mindset. I’m transported every time ❤❤❤
Ladies and gentlemen...this is what I call perfection
Fela's spirit is rejoicing 💚
Long live Kuti
Really and I guess that's one off the reasons Iam going to listen to this often.
Right?!
Absolutely right. Yes Fela is in the air
why does evry afrobeat song have yt people commenting this ? this is a genre ....
Everything about this is beautiful. It may just be me, but I cant help but to think of my ancestors, and how far we have come and how resilient, brilliant, and beautiful we are.
this guitar solist deserves to be honoured
You know what's the name of this guitar player? I'm loooking for it

Her Alto is bebop, but so free - and her language is soulful
When the trumpet and trombone come in, wow. Sounds like a 20 piece horn section. 👏👏
Childrens of Fela Kuti... from Montréal i fall in love with these 3 womens... and the guys too of course. merci pour cette musique
This is so Fella Anikula! Real Afro soul ❤❤❤
Queens, Fela's spiritual daughters.❤

When I saw the sisters with glorious head wraps on the brass, I knew I had to be here.
I'm grinning like a maniac..,Awesome musicians.....right here are a group of young people playing real music. I Love them. Absolutely Brilliant. ,✨💕🎶
the bass player deserve a standing ovation
I saw Fela in Perugia Italy. An Amazing day. Fela, his music, his mentality, his Heart and his political message forever.
We love Africa ❤️
in che anno?

Una don make baba Fela proud, made my day! awesome, remarkable, unimaginably irresistible. This is afrobeat!
This is some serious next level playing. Please do a tour in the States. The camera work, audio and editing are top notch. Class act. Bravo.
What lucky people to have witnessed this. Cudos to the recording engineers - the sound quality is so full, despite the room looking like a challenge, sonically. I came here by accident, but I'll be following up on this collective.

I really needed this in my life today!!! This band is fantastic! I don’t know how the crowd can sit so still! I’d have to get up and dance at one point!
Ha ha 😂 me too i am 💃
They must have to sign a form to show no emotions. They are always subdued like they were sedated before the show.
And there are times to sit and drink it in ..
I was so inmmersed in the music that didn’t even noticed that there were people
Riight they are sitting like bumps on a log
Fela will be very happy where ever he is right now. Nice cover of Fela's Kolomentality (Colonial Mentality)... Big up sisters.
Right u are smiling and liking it
I agree. Saw him live years back.

No he wouldn't. Just sweet sounds with no message. It's like an exotic black circus show for rich white people.
I’m a high school trumpet and occasional F Horn player and I can’t tell you how riveting it is to see these goddesses sing through their horns 🤘🏾🤘🏾
Yes, I find them to be excellent musicians. I enjoyed listening and watching them play.
Word!!!
Stick with it. Your instrument is you "ticket" to travel and meet people to go higher in life.
Stay focused dating, tho normal will have to set aside. Education and increasing your "tickets" value at this time is what's important and must be built now.
Look kid, life is a trip, if you got talent and sense to study, have time tools and make ...hence MAKE a way to invest in your gift, it will give for a life time.
You don't have to been a "known celeb", that's another platform. Your GIFT , beset right, kept healthy and respected and above all appreciated bmas angift from the creator....YOUR GIFT WILL SUSTAIN YOUR LIFE.
Remember,
Practice before rehearsal.
Learn more than one instrument and avenue in the entertainment field.
Don't drink and stash your gig money away.
Stay safe and focused and know by your ish.
Be well Brass.
Are you going to upgrade to a double horn? As for singing through your horn, if you hum a fifth while playing the root, you can get the 3rd in as a sympathetic vibration and play a chord.
Godbless you Sona,from America dear lady.❤😊
I can't understand how they can sit on the floor, hearing such a groove! this music is made to dance, not to be listened to without even a nod of the head !! get up and move your bodies!!
For real! I wondered the same thing ahaha
In the crowd's defense, it looks like a restaurant/lounge type of vibe. Not really condusive to dancing. You dont have to get on the dance floor to appreciate true talent. A head nod while enjoying an adult beverage works just as well.
Girl on the trumpet knows how to put some real feeling into it, damn
She's amazing.
True...Beautiful
I have nothing but respect and
love for these ladies.
Look at who the audience is
subtil, and magic
Those drums had me right away! Oh man! These ladies mean business!❤ then the guitar just goes crazy!!!❤❤❤
Why is everybody just sitting there? I'd be dancing my butt off
Me too I don't get it but I kinda do
Bc they’re recording and if the audience stood up, the band would be blocked.
It's London, the Brits aren't known for their emotive dancing lol
That’s because this is a Sofar Sounds concert, and the whole point of them is to provide opportunities to hear musicians live in a setting where the entire focus is on the music, without any distractions.
Modern socialism not to do it because others aren’t so don’t be different be “cool”. Ppl are too afraid they’ll be judged
That guitarr solo😭😭😭 Damn!
Trips me out how people just be sitting there, not bobbin their head 😂or nothing. That’s so hard for me to do. I can not even not smile when I hear groovy tunes. My insides are like let’s jam, man 💃🏿 🕺🏿

Right
I'm Buzzing!!
Absolute listening joy. The arrangements, solos and unity are flawless.
WHAT POWER!! I understand that the vibe of sofar is very chill and minimal but I wouldn’t be able to help myself from jumping up and grooving to these sound waves. Absolutely ecstatic grooves. Much love!!!!
Man, I never seen a lineup like this--sistas on lead horns with bruthas in the rhythm section jammin' hard!!!
Eric Robinson Oh My! its an absolute Joy to watch. Each Sister shows their personalities in their instruments. Very Empowering vibe for All our young aspiring Black sisters
What a powerful image to see these women holding it down with the brass.
This is simply beautiful! The sound, the rythm, the 'woman power'. Well done Kokoroko Afrobeat Collective. Well done Sofar Sounds.
This is jazz and jazz funk afro American music
Blacknificent SiStar power!!!
I wish the cameras had gotten some shots of the cat on the drums, especially when he was throwing some extra spicy groves in mix.
Love the brass. A bit of Fela vibes as well. Stunning ladies.
It's a Fela Kuti tune..👍🏿
I love their swagger on stage so layed back and smooth
Leave all that stress behind, you are at that area of youtube where the music cool, drinks are not watered and cheap as heck, atmosphere is great and the people are beyond cool. sit back, put those headphones, close your eyes and go on that journey.....

....WOW!!! I have NEVER seen ANYTHING like this! BAM!!! They've floored it! Music world, there's a new standard!
Check out Fela kuti and you'd be in awe.
These Gals Are Simply Magnificent ❤Buddy Guy would Love them. If they went to his club Ledgens in Chicago he would invite them on the Club stage &

This is super baaaddd!!! This sounds just like Fela! True Afro beat music played by sisters blowing the horns!!!Yeah!
that guitar solo.... Holy God! thank you guys for the great freshness and freedom in you music! this is so alive with full of energy! just thank you!
oh yeah, just when I think it can't get ANY BETTER...that guitar solo!!!!!!! I'm a guitarist myself....and that shit was fire.
Просто шедевр редко встречаю такое чудо. С любовью С Украины)
Fela Kuti lives on!!!. We can hear him all over. Teacher don't teach me nonsense. Colonial mentality (if you know, you know).
All hail to our Nubian Queens!! What talent.
Kokoroko never fails to bring music that speaks to my soul and makes me dance in my seat.
Tears came to my eyes, I can feel the spirit of revolution through this!!!!!!!
My heart rejoiced 🙌💖🎼
"Colonial Mentality" song by the late Fela Kuti of Nigeria. Fela lives on.
They sound absolutely fantastic, they are slamming!!!!!!!!! Fela would be proud.
I would have 0 issue listening to a three hour album full of these wonderfull sounds! Very cool
Love this tune.. thanks
just look at those queens wearing their crowns and creating so beautiful music....
Music from the greatest Fela Kuti
😂😂😂😂😂
You need to wear your crown too.

What a gem I stumbled upon!!!!! I must have watched it about 5 times. How this has any thumbs down completely amazes me.
I wore locks for 14 years and I cut them off and wore my hair naturally curly for about 6 years.
I miss my locks tremendously so I decided to relock.
I'm on my second week of my locks and I feel amazing.
I don't need to look like someone else I need to look and be who I am.
I have beautiful hair. Black women you have beautiful hair ,plus you save a lot of money to do some other things such as traveling......
Showing you with White Light. Ase.
I too have locs😉
Love my locks too! Peace & Blessings
Locks are perfect. Greetz from a white bread
Yes but it takes a lot of time to maintain blk hair is not easy to always do
These are some beautiful Sisters. If I was single I sure wish I could meet one or all of them. Lord have mercy
How can a human being dislike such a powerful piece of work like this one? Look at the girl in the middle, JUST LOOK AT HER EYES AS SHE PLAYS! She's feeling every single note so intensily it makes me wanna pick up my guitar just to get in tune with the same vibration! Those sounds are a force of nature!
Absolutely! But they are women, not girls.
Because of the Colonial Mentalityyy!!

This is amazing. It's very rare to find women playing instruments, many play the piano. So i am glad to see this amazing band, they are as awesome as their sound!!!
How is that crowd staying so still? I was sweating I was groovin so hard

Hi,
Why it's name is colonial mentality?
Sadra Salim search for Fela Kuti’s origina song colonial Mentality. It will explain better.
Sadra Salim here’s the original w some details on what he’s talking about. Listen to the whole song. Thanx

Fela for ever
Wow im blown away
The definition of elegance and poise. This track SWINGS!
that moment when you see that these Queens will actually be in your home town in a few weeks.OM Goodnesssssss.Yasssssssssss
That lady sure gives some solid Fela vibes on that saxophone. kudos
Exactly what I felt
Jpkrao you never know..Fela had 27 wife’s..
She is a true Saxophone player. No nonsense.
Being someone who loves being in a musical band, I truly appreciate this. Truly talented ladies!
RUclips people, you should be smart enough not to put rotten ads in the middle of pieces of art.
just get adblock
WOW!!! Totally blown away. Sublime music, you go!, WOMEN!
Far out man, what a serendipitous treat to come across this.
So far SO GOOD!
*Sofar, clearly. Chinese spellcheck 😅
Damn this rocks...what a groove ..mad solos ..laid back but smouldering. Fela lives ☆
Just got home from a hard days work. I love this.
It’s refreshing to see Black women without blond weaves or trying to mimic European so called standards of beauty. A Black women’s true beauty can’t be denied.
Much respect!!
+J B ~ Thank you❣️
I'm feeling the same way. Love the look!
Yesss they are beautiful!!
J B, Indeed... Bingo!!!😉
Why is it so necessary for you to make as a comment why can't you just enjoy the sisters and let them be my God no one else does this
Fela Anikulapo Kuti The composer of this song would be proud if he was alive.
What a great performance from the band here😊
Fela would be amazed to see how the world and youth of today are embracing his music
weeping and laughing at same time - i can`t get out of it - divine grace ...
