  • Kokoroko's new single Age of Ascent is out now 🕊🦅 Listen here ➡️ • Kokoroko - Age of Ascent
    Their long-awaited debut album Could We Be More, is due for release on August 5th 2022 via Gilles Peterson’s Brownswood Recordings.
    Pre-order the debut album here: Kokoroko.lnk.to/CouldWeBeMoreID
    A primer on London’s bright-burning young jazz scene, this new compilation brings together a collection of some of its sharpest talents. A set of nine newly-recorded tracks, We Out Here captures a moment where genre markers matter less than raw, focused energy. Surveying the album’s running order, it could easily serve as a name-checking exercise for some of London’s most-tipped and hardworking bands of the past couple of years. Recorded across three long, fruitful days in a North West London studio, the results speak for themselves: they’re a window into the wide-eyed future of London’s musical underground.
    Kokoroko (meaning 'be strong' in Urhobo), are a collective of young musicians brought together by a love for Afrobeat led by trumpeter Sheila Maurice-Grey. They specialise in a soul shaking, horn fuelled sound with West African roots and inner London hues.
    'Abusey Junction' is a ballad written by guitarist Oscar Jerome (fast making a name as an artist in his own right). It was written on the roof of a compound in Gambia where the band spent time last year immersing themselves in the soundscapes of the region.
    Sheila Maurice-Grey - Trumpet
    Cassie Kinoshi - Alto Sax
    Richie Seivwright - Trombone
    Oscar Jerome (Laurence) - Guitar
    Yohan Kebede - Keyboard
    Onome Edgeworth - Percussion
    Mutale Chashi - Bass

    Many years ago I had a Spanish girlfriend and after almost a year of long-distance relationship I decided to move;
    For a few months she took me around many Spanish regions and showed me places she knew, among them was Las Palmas de Gran Canaria, a humid island across from Africa...
    There were numerous incidents of misunderstanding, we were from two different cultures and had very distinct customs (I am Italian) and that was my first real trip away from home for so long, we traveled for about a month and a half continuously.
    That week in Las Palmas was unforgettable, dances, spectacular food, warmth of the people who offered you everything with their love, this song reminded me a lot of a photograph I took of the neighborhood where I stayed that week, same balconies, cats around, and those porches of the building where I slept...
    I miss that time, thank you for reading this comment and sharing this song with me.
    Hugs to all, travel and fall in love!

    I had been searching for this song for a long time. The only details I could recall were that it featured an empty town with blinking billboards and a red cat.
    I also remembered a comment about a guy playing the song through giant speakers to an empty street in Serbia during the lockdown period.
    With just these two pieces of information, I embarked on a UA-cam search using numerous keywords, although I knew it might be futile.
    Afterward, I checked my list of liked videos, which contained 3,397 videos. After nearly an hour of searching, I finally found the song.
    Perhaps some 'genius' methods were at play, but after obtaining the song and rediscovering that guy's comment (somewhere below), I felt happy and delighted.
    It turned out to be a meaningful accomplishment on my birthday😊

    I've heard this song echo through every coffeehouse I worked at in my twenties,
    and play through my ears on late night bike rides home.
    Its been soundtrack to supper parties and background to evenings falling in both platonic and romantic love.
    It makes me think of people I used to love, of new friends I've not met yet, and of days spent dancing in the garden with this tune in my head.
    Its followed me for years and I don't think I'll ever be tired of it.

    I was in Texas when I discovered this three years ago. Lost, not sure where I'd be going. I'm still having trouble figuring it out, trying to not be a failure, trying to be great at something... Hearing this kinda gives me hope. It's a reminder of a different time, where I was, and how everything felt, the "vibe"/feeling I can bring back partially thinking about it. I'm so grateful for music. It's such a powerful thing.

      @@aesoprocksGM wishing you the best as well. Oddly, new songs I have found have made me feel similar, sort of connecting back to old memories via music. "Niki Fm" by Hawthorne Lights, sends me back, just due to the perspective I have on it now. Things are surely different. Who knows what will happen in the next 5, 10, 20 years. Side note, I was attending a semester for my freshman year at UHCL. I am now elsewhere, graduating next month on the east coast. 😎

    I first heard this song when I was deeply in love with Alice. That happened in the summer of 2018, in a room in Malaga. She showed me this song and I couldn't believe that I could be so happy. Almost three years later my life has changed too much, we have separated. I am left with all the precious memories and what I learned from her. Also with a 38 hour spotify playlist. Each of those songs mean something to me, kind of like the soundtrack to my relationship with her.

A sad undertone with a curiosity for something more, a hope for something better. It's incredible what a mere instrumental can tell, and this song really does drive that to it's potential. Thank you so much for this gorgeous track, KOKOROKO. We ALL look forward for what else you have in store for us.

      i always thought it was a story about a fox that turned into a human and learned to play bongos because he used to raid the bins behind the house a beautiful woman lived in. while he was rooting about in the bins looking for something good to eat he'd listen to her play. sometimes the sun would be shining, other times it'd be raining. but she'd always be playing, and didn't even know someone was listening
      the sad part you hear in the song is that while he loves his bongos, and accompanying the guitar lady as she plays, he enjoyed his life as a fox and can't find his way back

The moonlight kisses you sweetly upon your face like a promise fulfilled. Beauty blows through your heart for old wounds are sealed now by a melody that raises a toast to everything you could be...you dance alone on the beach...I fall in love with you as the trumpet weeps "we will never meet'". The stars you're seeing ..i see too, they console me and tell me 'space is the space for dreams' and it speaks your name 'Luna' as the song ends, just like songs always do.

    I didn’t know how much I needed this in my life. Also just wanted to say I’m pretty sure we’re all getting in touch with our spiritual self lately and I’m proud of all of you for making it this far.

    this song reminds me of a day before a psychedelic experience that I was planning to do to heal myself from many things I suffered in the past, I was listening to it in front of a mountain in chaouen morocco, God is great.

    It took so long before I was able to listen to this song without crying! From the very first listen, this song would crack all the walls of protection I've given myself from my emotions. I'm thankful for it too! This sing help me thru a very hard time in my life. Thank you kokoroko!

    I listen to it a lot while driving a car. No matter how many times I listen to it, I never get tired of it.

    This song says "sit down and reflect on the day you've just had." Master piece.
