Kokoroko is a young, London based Afrobeat 8-Piece band led by trumpeter Sheila Maurice-Grey. Inspired by Fela Kuti, Ebo Taylor, Tony Allen and the sounds that come out of West Africa.

The band consists of Sheila Maurice-Grey on trumpet and vocals, Cassie Kinoshi on saxophone and vocals, Richie SeivWright on trombone and vocals, Duane Atherley on bass, Tobi Adenaike on guitar, Yohan Kebede on keyboards, Onome Edgeworth on percussion, and Ayo Salawu on drums.

With their unique blend of Afrobeat influences and their energetic performances, Kokoroko has quickly gained recognition in the music scene. Their music will transport you to the vibrant streets of West Africa while keeping you grooving to their infectious rhythms.

The afrobeat-inspired eight-piece drop their hotly-anticipated debut. A horn-fuelled, soul-shaking introduction to the young collective. Their first solo release after featuring on london jazz primer We Out Here.

Kokoroko are part of the thriving scene that’s grown out of london’s young, jazz-influenced musical circles. Led by bandleader Sheila Maurice-Grey, their self-titled ep is the group’s first solo release, following their early 2018 debut with Abusey Junction, a track that has gone on to accrue over 15 million plays on youtube and 2.6 million on spotify. Across the E.P’s four tracks, the eight-piece deliver on the promise of that memorable introduction, offering a bigger vision of their afrobeat-influenced, soulfully-imbued sound, west african roots shaded with inner London hues.
