absolutely! Spot on, and there are indeed a lot of recent bands inspired by Classic Afrobeat/Highlife producing amazing stuff nowadays, such as Newen Afrobeat, Afro Social Club, Ojibo Afrobeat, Albinoid Afrobeat Orchestra, etc. The future of excellent music is no doubt in good hands. Cheers from Uruguay
That transition between Dide O and Age of Ascent is masterful. I just want to be wrapped up in it. I can't believe the pandemic ruined my chance to catch you all in Los Angeles two or three years ago. Nevertheless, I am grateful ya'll are still creating!

.. the best of many worlds to create one unique colourful universe... ambient, afro, funk, jazz , rock ,dance, soul ,ethnic ...intricate poly rhythms and harmonies..but not elitist ,boring, obscure flashy ....hands down ..a major achievement in modern music..greetings to all sounds adventurers.. here ..on that comment section
There was a young man playing guitar on Kokoroko "Colonial Mentality"/Sofar, London who played this WONDERFUL solo. I've not seem him again. I wish he would come back. He looked about sixteen but the solo was so musical it showed a maturity way beyond his years. Where'd he go?
So excited for them finally trickling shows into US. I learned how to play this on drums. But what I really learned was how INSANE Ayo Salawu is in drums. What a BEAST!!!
...Trane? I'd go with Fela + Tony Allen on this one. Best thing about this band (besides their obviously stonking music) is they are 'real people'. Totally relatable Londoners.
This is why i LOVE youtube rabbit holes, Someone suggested one of the sisters in the band-since she was playing with Nubya Garcia on her Tiny Desk (bomb set as well!). Mentioned this group. Love the work :) gorgeous women!
Very tasteful, my the true art forum of music continue to live on. As a musician sometimes it feels like real music has died,but hearing these talented musicians I’m appreciative ❤❤❤
aight - OKAY - thanks you for the breath of spring freshness, exuding like lilacs blossoming at the base of a willow tree. Refracting is the vibration of excellence as a zephyr breeze at ease.
Kokoroko shows the world that the future of "excellent" music is in very good hands.
Ikrr
Not sure about that... They're the exception, but I hope they start a new trend... :)
Facts.

One of my favorite bands
This was everything!!
Man the vibe reaches deep in the soul of me.Reminds me of John Coltrain ,a man ahead of his time.

0:46 almost everytime makes me cry of joy. idk why
That moment on the last song when the keys start with the lead solo creates a amazing atmosphere
They are incredible! I cannot get enough!
wooooowwwwwwww!!!! That first horn line had me hooked!!
This is what the season of Spring sounds like. Beautiful and brings life into the listener's heart and mind. 🌱🥰
This Rythem is DEEP, exceptionally deep.

Ladies of the KOKOROKO should be called the 'Tower of Woman's Power' horn section ! Well played by all - fun stuff..

outstanding and underrated!
So glad this was in my suggestions/feed. Great music!!!

Great music to dominate in the U.S. You should play with Esperanza Spalding. Your sounds compliment each other. Beautiful.
No words for this. I'm floating.
