Kokoroko Collective
Last Show: Saturday 30 th July 2016
PizzaExpress Jazz Club (Soho)
One of the best afrobeat bands in London. "Jazz Re:freshed”
Take the improvisational character of jazz, combine it with the raunchiness of funk, flavour the mixture with African tradition. What do you end up with Afrobeat and KOKOROKO (meaning 'be strong' in Urhobo). They are a collective of young musicians brought together by a love for Afrobeat. They specialise in a soul shaking, horn fuelled sound with West African roots and Inner London hues.
