Live from the 麻豆社 Proms: KOKOROKO bring their mix of West African Afrobeat and jazz to the Royal Albert Hall for what promises to be a night of searing commentary on our times.
KOKOROKO 鈥� music from West Africa re-invented for our times.
With their captivating mix of Afrobeat and jazz, this promises to be a memorable night at the 麻豆社 Proms. The eight members of KOKOROKO bring a contemporary social and political commentary to the West African Rhythms heard in the 1940s London's Soho area. As they say: 鈥淲e wanted the music to sound rough, like going out and hearing music pushed through speakers or the energy of people dancing at Afrobeat parties: its music we鈥檝e seen work on dance floors.鈥�
Presented live from the Royal Albert Hall by Georgia Mann.
