![KOKOROKO [VINYL]](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71CPyDEY6eL.jpg)
London has long been a hotbed for experimentation for music from West Africa, and it's into this global-local story that we can situate London's newest afrobeat innovators: Kokoroko. In the 40s, World War Two veteran Ambrose Campbell and his West African Rhythm Brothers, were enticing Soho music lovers with sweet palm wine sounds. The following decade, a young Fela Kuti (and his Koola Lobitos outfit with drummer Tony Allen), would jam with Campbell, and the seeds for his global Afrobeat revolution were sown. The band's name is an Orobo - a Nigerian tribe and language - word meaning 'be strong'. Sonically living up to their name, Kokoroko are an all star band featuring leading lights from the London jazz community. Powered by seismic horn section (Maurice Grey, saxophonist Cassie Kinoshi, trombonist Richie Seivewright), guitar (Oscar Jerome), keys (Yohan Kebede), drums (Ayo Salawu) and percussion (Onome Edgeworth); Kokoroko are on a mission to fashion new languages using the medium of afrobeat.

Sehr schöne EP
Die vier Stücke auf der EP sind großartig. Sehr abwechslungsreich und ein guter Weg, Kokoroko kennenzulernen.

Album good. Shipping bad.
Album is 5/5 amazing. The shipping (from Amazon) was complete garbage and the brand new record arrived scratched because they sent it in a box that was too big and it was able to move around in shipping getting little scratches all over the vinyl. I've ordered other albums that were shipped properly so idk what Amazon was doing with this one. There are audible pops over all the songs. Thanks guys.
