We present to you one of the sensations of recent years from the United Kingdom. Captured on the Nancy Jazz Pulsations main stage during the 2022 edition, Kokoroko can finally live up to their potential.
The young Anglo-Nigerian collective based in London has just released its 1st album after having taken the time to perfect their music on stage for several years. An artistic approach that is not devoid of common sense at a time when technological means of recording and broadcasting make it possible to mass-produce music.
The objective of this brilliant septet is the afrobeat of their ancestors, but not only that. The brassy riffs directly inherited from a time when Fela Kuti was the big boss pair perfectly with high-flying jazz. Inspired instrumentals and soloists, electrifying vocals, soul or funk reflections depending on the mood, seeing the responsiveness of a seemingly eclectic audience as convinced by Tobi Adenaike's sharp guitar playing as by the poly-rhythmic ping-pong of the percussionist and drummer, we suddenly regret not having taken the trip to Lorraine last fall.
