Genre
Afrobeat/Jazz/Highlife
The London scene simply bubbles with breathtaking talent. There, what was Hip-Hop thirty years ago, is Jazz today. Music where young people can let themselves go with no fear of crossing boundaries. One of the most exciting bands is Kokoroko. The eight-piece collective, which is led by a female horn section and trumpeter Sheila Maurice-Grey, plays a raw and yet extraordinary soul version of Afrobeat, so influenced by Fela Kuti. Their speciality are the “soul-shaking” horns, which, with their West African rhythms and London Jazz Grooves, ensure ecstatic audience reactions.
