KOKOROKO

KOKOROKO (meaning 'be strong' in Urhobo) is a collective of young musicians brought together by a love for Afrobeat. Inspired by Fela Kuti, Ebo Taylor, Tony Allen and the great sounds that have come out of West Africa, we put on a performance to honour the masters that taught us. Most of us are London Jazz school kids who met playing in South London. We noticed a void in people like us playing Afrobeat and KOKOROKO - with an all female horn section and proper London fire - was born. KOKOROKO are a London based Afrobeat 7-Piece. We play music we love and grew up with. Inspired by the greats of West African we honour our masters through music
