Kokoroko是一支来自伦敦的年轻Afrobeat 风格的8人乐器团体，由小号手Sheila Maurice-Grey领导。他们演奏自己喜欢的音乐，甚至他们的父母也同样很时髦。受到Fela Kuti、Ebo Taylor、Tony Allen的启迪以及西非伟大传统音乐的影响，他们举办过一场特别演出，以致敬那些给予他们灵感的大师们。
乐队的名字源自于Orobo（一种尼日利亚部落语言），意思是"要坚强"，他们的音乐也和其名字一样。 Kokoroko是一个全明星乐队，团员都是来自伦敦爵士乐界的人物们。由管乐部分（Maurice Grey、萨克斯风演奏家Cassie Kinoshi、长号手Richie Seivwright）、吉他（Oscar Jerome）、键盘手（Yohan Kebede）、鼓（Ayo Salawu）和打击乐器（Onome Edgeworth）提供动力；Kokoroko的想法是使用Afrobeat作为媒介来创造出新的音乐语言。
长期以来，伦敦一直是西非音乐进行实验的温床，而在这个大都会中，我们可以选择伦敦新晋的Afrobeat创新者们Kokoroko作为例子。在40年代的第二次世界大战中，Ambrose Campbell和他的西非打击乐兄弟们以甜美的棕榈酒般声音，吸引了许多来自Soho的音乐爱好者。在接下来的十年中，年轻的Fela Kuti（还有他的Koola Lobitos服装）与鼓手Tony Allen，与Campbell一同即兴演奏，并为他在Afrobeat播下种子。
Kokoroko专门研究具有西非血统和伦敦中心色调的令人震撼的管乐的声音。 Kokoroko参加过许多英国/欧盟的音乐节，包括格拉斯顿伯里音乐节、Meltdown音乐节、埃尔布扎兹音乐节、维拉特爵士音乐节、维埃纳爵士音乐节、伊甸节音乐节等等。 他们最近的EP已在欧洲各地的广播电台如NTS、Radio Nova和BRUZZ（布鲁塞尔城市广播电台）等广播电台播出，他们在随后接受了电台的采访。
Kokoroko目前计划于今年10月和11月举行本年度的欧洲巡回演出，并计划在印度举办一场激动人心的附加演出，以异常热烈的方式为2019年划上句点。
Kokoroko are a young, London based Afrobeat 8-Piece band led by trumpeter Sheila Maurice-Grey. We play music we love, we grew up with and our parents got funky to. Inspired by Fela Kuti, Ebo Taylor, Tony Allen and the great sounds that come out of West Africa, we put on a performance to honour the masters that taught us.
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 Seivwright), 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.
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 40's 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.
We specialise in a soul shaking, horn fueled sound with West African roots and Inner London hues. We have played many UK/EU Festivals including Glastonbury, Meltdown Festival, Elbjazz, Jazz a la Villette, Jazz a Vienne, Eden Festival, We Out Here to name a few. Our recent EP has had radio play all over Europe at radio stations such as NTS, radio Nova and BRUZZ (Brussels city radio) with interviews with the band following also.
Kokoroko are currently scheduled to their European Tours of the year this October and November with an exciting additional show scheduled in India to finish 2019 with a bang.
