This is the type of music that you travel to see the band perform.
“Dide” means “Get Up”
“Ati fe dele” means “we are almost home”
Dide O, Ati fe dele means “Get up O, we are almost home”
The language spoken is Yoruba (NIGERIA)
You’re welcome ☺️
Thank you for sharing that! Love it !
Indeed
Is that Yoruba?
I have sang it everyday without knowing because it feels like home. Now that I know what it means Im soooo happy
@@fabionihilkevorkian8074 yeah it is
Sometimes you just have to thank youtube algorithm for gems.
Smoking a joint, cleaning and daydreaming , found this thinking its just a song. Listened the whole album and the time flied and went slowly at the same time.. Thank you, this was lovely 🌸💖
why am I doing the same? Great minds think alike, Much love haha
@@yolddelius6292 hahaha this put a smile on my face , mucho amor sister ! 😍🪐☺️🪩🐝💖✨

Same, dude!
Juu, joutaa ne siivoomiset tehdä myöhemminkin jos tulee näin hyvää uutta albumia vastaan. :)
The algorithm has done it again
The algo done did it again
Indeed!! 😂
this album brings tears to my eyes every time. it picks my spirit up every time. grateful for such beautiful music to bless our ears.
whoever is reading this- may you feel all that was, wash off from your mind, your spirit and your heart.
Remember this period in life is only temporary.
Asé.
Just as I was thinking of my mama💖. A beautiful voice started singing " Don't you know I love you... Each and every one of you💖💝😊🙏🏾🙂💝💖.
This is nothing short of a tour de force. These songs should fill the airwaves. This may not be your specific channel, but if you see this, thank you, Kokoroko, for sharing such wonderfully well-thought-out music with the world. And, may your musical successes multiply.
A new form of African Jazz at its finest
Played this randomly from my recommendations on youtube to create white noise so that I can write my assignment in a flow. Now I am tripping on this music SO hard and struggling to get back to work. INSANELY fresh sound !
Random suggestion, 20 sec listening, exactly my type of chill sounds😊 Bless the world's diversity: it is why we can find musical gems (same goes with fashion, people, food etc)
finally home
This is the kind of music that makes me want to build a music room in my house...with the speakers and amps that make it sound like the band is in the room.
couple of genelecs will sort ya life out I've had the same set since 2006.....love them speakers
I guess the goal of "War Dance" is to trick the enemy into dancing to this stone groove, and then forgetting why they even wanted to fight in the first place. Peace achieved!
(If only it were so simple...)
Exactly!!!❤
this has only been out a week.
give it time.
@@soiboisixtnine8848 bruh your username 😂
i think you're on to something
you're not that far off of how simple it is, actually.
thank you youtube from dropping me here. Idk what this is but i fucks with it.
Acid jazz from Africa. Love this!!
Im seeing them in Toronto for FREE on Wed June 28 2023! Thank you for this gift ❤ Toronto Jazz Fest ❤🎉
Best random discovery on Apple Music playlists. Soul Searching literally sounds like the title. Dope ass band.
Wifey sent me here...grateful for her!
Finally a percussive album full of beautiful melodies and very positive energy.
I too look for albums with good percussion! I agree 👍
Agreed
@@bluesque9687can you name more?
Wow Wow Wow !!! "Age of Ascent" is so Smooth, Jazzy and Créole à la Kassav (French Brand of Guadeloupe)...Bravo !!!
i missed this last year, but very happy to find it in spring 2023
Rolled a j when I came across this album, life ain’t been the same since🤌🏼
behold what wondrous a thing we've been bestowed upon. relentless marvel
Listening while hearing the wash crashing in front of me. ❤and soul are happy!
Found this about a week ago. Spun it solo. Spun it with multiple friends and have had prolific conversations and thoughts each time. ❤❤❤❤❤❤
This Orquesta knows music inside out, besides living & breathing it to existance but the history of greats: sounds, melodies, rhythms, groove, pocket, cultures. Thank You for your presence & presents.
My most anticipated jazz album this year
Never heard of it
@@bigjwalkthestreets since you’re here, I’m sure you have now
That's mainly old school Afrobeat
@@bigjwalkthestreets Thank goodness your opinion matters to nobody!
@ Fela Kuti in modern versión. Great, though...
Fanstatic album 🥰🥰🥰🥰💯💯💯💯💫💫💫💫💫🌺🌺🌺🌿🌿🌿🎶🎶🎶 thank you for giving us music, wiht our ancestors listening
I just stumbled across this album and I am SOO glad I did. Thank you algorithm :)
If this aint gold, I don't wanna know what gold is!
that interlude at 38 minutes!!!! i sbwl a longer version abeg!
24:13 that talking drum sounds tooo sweet
The first one ,Tojo ❤️🔥
Those Good Times was an instant classic.
Man I love Kokoroko. I wish they would come to Portland
Disco all day, love it with little funk & Jazz
!
One of my favorite bands. Consistently dropping bliss.
32:32 "War Dance" Wow !
Dide O is terrific
The soundtrack of the summer.....!!!
Just found it, 2:30pm, 89 degrees, slight breeze, on second track... fits so far.
Wowwwww😅😢🎉all at the same time. Thank you for existing
this is one of the best bands since WAR
In my robe smoking a spliff feelz. Thank you for a gracious contribution of sound 🙏🐇🌞🕊
When the "Dide O" chants come back in Home 😍
what does it mean
@@asiyah5786 I don't know either I can't even figure out what language it is. The problem with Africa is that there can a thousand different languages just in one country.
@@Bladavia it’s Yoruba ‘Dide’ means get up ‘Ati fe dele’ means we are almost home
@@asiyah5786 Yeah I also found something like that with Google translate but I don't know how trustworthy it is.
@@Bladavia I didn’t use Google translate I asked my Yoruba friend once I knew what language it was.
Kokoroko will conquer the music world more and more - by real quality!
Y'all deserve ten times more recognition than y'all get now, the vibes are immaculate, soulful and poignant.
It's coming, it take time in this time. . this time not about quality except those that enjoy quality time w/ music such as this. In other words this isnt getting radio play so you've got to spread the word... it's spreading.
belak pipol very enjoy this song nice thank
🔊Something's going on!!!🎷🎸🥁
Well I'm here in that YT-rabbit-hole again...let's goooooooo
Simply the best I added it to my jazz collection, reminded me of the 80's Jazz fusion. Love this Band.
This music takes me to an imaginary wonderland ❤️
This is the most beautiful piece of music I've ever heard in my life
I feel like this music is healing me in some way.
Siiii. Fumando unos ,limpiando, jugando.,riendo...
Beautiful!

One of the best bands out there. Amazing music. We need another Ti-di! One of my favorite songs in the world.
There's no song named ti-di in the list 🤔
Oh you meant from their last album. Okay
💯
I've never heard of Kokoroko. I made it .59 seconds from pressing play and had to buy it. Needed to buy it. LOVE!
I can't nor want to stop listening to this album. It strikes a chord every single time and I find myself humming some of its tunes randomly throughout the day. Beautiful work you people!
my album of the year. what a gift these guys are to afrobeat and the world.
I was already a fan of you guys. As if by fate I also noted a Zambian name in the group. And I knew I had to see you guys in the flesh!! This sound takes me to my childhood 😭, in a way you only feel in your heart ❤️.
I just love what you're doing ♥️. Bless you guys ♥️
First time we heard Kokoroko it had been over fifteen years since I ate the eye of the Buddha. A friend and I ate one each and threw a bottle of wine in the icebox. Instant Zen, I've had a love affair with these women ever since. Like reaching out to God, their sound is right on time. Thanks for sharing these beautiful vibrations!
Age of Ascent makes me shed a tear everytime
the ending right??!
Dide-O is sooo beautiful
It's great and the live version is even better
its so fukcing awesome. the bassist is so incredible.
Kokoroko's self titled EP randomly dropped into my recommendations 2 days ago. I absolutely fell in love with their sound. To see them drop their debut album today, after just finding them... It genuinely feels like some kind of gift from god. Another fantastic collection of tracks from this great musical collective, keep up the great work!
Everything is a gift from God 🤔
Welcome aboard!
