Kokoko!'s album "Butu" is a vibrant and eclectic musical journey that was released by Pias/Transgressive. Fusing traditional Congolese rhythms with modern electronic sounds, the album is a celebration of creativity and innovation.

From the energetic beats of tracks like "Buka Dansa" to the hypnotic melodies of "Identité," each song on Butu showcases Kokoko!'s unique blend of influences and their commitment to pushing boundaries in music.

The band's DIY ethos is evident throughout the album, with homemade instruments and raw, unfiltered vocals adding an authentic and gritty edge to the sound. This approach gives Butu a raw and organic feel that sets it apart from more polished productions.

Listeners will find themselves drawn into Kokoko!'s world from the first track to the last, as they explore themes of identity, community, and resilience through their music. The infectious energy of songs like "Malembe" will have you dancing while thought-provoking lyrics invite deeper reflection.

With its genre-defying sound and undeniable groove, Butu is a must-have for fans of world music, electronic experimentation, and anyone looking for something fresh and exciting in their music collection.
