Sounds great!
It's the magic!
Tudo começou com um toque de sax bem suave, mas quando entraram os outros metais, o poder apareceu.
I love them🤩They are superstars!! So proud of these young musicians ❤
The bassline can go on for an eternity without being boring.
careful what you wish for
I really dug it.
I was thinking the same thing. Love it.❤
Cyclick ❤
I'd played it for years With my sousaphone, and I Still.
That sax player in on fire. Her opening jam was soooo sweet! This is awesome!
Yebo...ISH !
@@fionahiggins6682 And don't forget the guitarist - pocket rocket!
She knows her Bebop and her instrument backwards and forward
im dancing whit eyes closed bro
Her Alto is bebop, but so free - and her language is soulful
Ok. This just appeared in my timeline today, 2/15/24. WHY is this my first time hearing this absolutely wonderful musical group?? As someone said, I can hear Fela's influence all over this piece!!💕💕💕
With you❣️
Same here, only knew about them today.
I’m a high school trumpet and occasional F Horn player and I can’t tell you how riveting it is to see these goddesses sing through their horns 🤘🏾🤘🏾
Yes, I find them to be excellent musicians. I enjoyed listening and watching them play.
Word!!!
Stick with it. Your instrument is you "ticket" to travel and meet people to go higher in life.
Stay focused dating, tho normal will have to set aside. Education and increasing your "tickets" value at this time is what's important and must be built now.
Look kid, life is a trip, if you got talent and sense to study, have time tools and make ...hence MAKE a way to invest in your gift, it will give for a life time.
You don't have to been a "known celeb", that's another platform. Your GIFT , beset right, kept healthy and respected and above all appreciated bmas angift from the creator....YOUR GIFT WILL SUSTAIN YOUR LIFE.
Remember,
Practice before rehearsal.
Learn more than one instrument and avenue in the entertainment field.
Don't drink and stash your gig money away.
Stay safe and focused and know by your ish.
Be well Brass.
Are you going to upgrade to a double horn? As for singing through your horn, if you hum a fifth while playing the root, you can get the 3rd in as a sympathetic vibration and play a chord.
When the trumpet and trombone come in, wow. Sounds like a 20 piece horn section. 👏👏
Ladies and gentlemen...this is what I call perfection
Dear Lord!🎉 This African woman’s heart is dancing. Some rockstar sistaaazzzz🙌🏾👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽💪🏽
When I saw the sisters with glorious head wraps on the brass, I knew I had to be here.
this guitar solist deserves to be honoured
You know what's the name of this guitar player? I'm loooking for it
@@osmarsantosdonascimentojun9590 Shirley Tetteh
Man is a beast on the strings.
I love the look on the trumpet players face. She just knows how good this is
reprise de féla^^
Fela will be very happy where ever he is right now. Nice cover of Fela's Kolomentality (Colonial Mentality)... Big up sisters.
Right u are smiling and liking it
I agree. Saw him live years back.

No he wouldn't. Just sweet sounds with no message. It's like an exotic black circus show for rich white people.
I so wish she kept going for longer, that sax solo was awesome, she was on fire.
What lucky people to have witnessed this. Cudos to the recording engineers - the sound quality is so full, despite the room looking like a challenge, sonically. I came here by accident, but I'll be following up on this collective.
Thanks! It's all about the right mic choice and placement. I can't believe how many views this video has now. I was paid £60 for the night and the band were paid nothing. Don't support Sofar.
@@JellyFlavoredGerman I bet the video guy was paid more
Now this is some good Afrobeat, every individual in this band is amazin
My beautiful Black Queens throwing down with horns just doesn't get any better.😉 I've never hear of you all, but now I'm a super fan!👏💝
Same here.
Bellissime tutte ❤❤❤
just look at those queens wearing their crowns and creating so beautiful music....
Music from the greatest Fela Kuti
😂😂😂😂😂
You need to wear your crown too.

no content bot.
Absolute listening joy. The arrangements, solos and unity are flawless.
Tears came to my eyes, I can feel the spirit of revolution through this!!!!!!!
My heart rejoiced 🙌💖🎼
I'm grinning like a maniac..,Awesome musicians.....right here are a group of young people playing real music. I Love them. Absolutely Brilliant. ,✨💕🎶
First of all, great performance. It satisfies my soul! Secondly, thank you to whoever knew how to mic their instruments properly so we could get this beautiful sound! It sounds so lovely! Like I was actually there!
That guitarr solo😭😭😭 Damn!
the bass player deserve a standing ovation
Man, I never seen a lineup like this--sistas on lead horns with bruthas in the rhythm section jammin' hard!!!
Eric Robinson Oh My! its an absolute Joy to watch. Each Sister shows their personalities in their instruments. Very Empowering vibe for All our young aspiring Black sisters
Girl on the trumpet knows how to put some real feeling into it, damn
She's amazing.
True...Beautiful
This is some serious next level playing. Please do a tour in the States. The camera work, audio and editing are top notch. Class act. Bravo.
I really needed this in my life today!!! This band is fantastic! I don’t know how the crowd can sit so still! I’d have to get up and dance at one point!
Ha ha 😂 me too i am 💃
They must have to sign a form to show no emotions. They are always subdued like they were sedated before the show.
And there are times to sit and drink it in ..
I was so inmmersed in the music that didn’t even noticed that there were people
Riight they are sitting like bumps on a log
What a powerful image to see these women holding it down with the brass.
Leave all that stress behind, you are at that area of youtube where the music cool, drinks are not watered and cheap as heck, atmosphere is great and the people are beyond cool. sit back, put those headphones, close your eyes and go on that journey.....
❤
How is that crowd staying so still? I was sweating I was groovin so hard
They sre in awe!
I think people are more self conscious these days. When I hear music on the street, I always groove out because I am well past the age of caring what other people think. It’s a great place to be, “dance like nobody’s watching”
@@anele.nsithole5593 Your explanation. I like it.
Probably in awe
i think it might be because they are all white
I saw Fela in Perugia Italy. An Amazing day. Fela, his music, his mentality, his Heart and his political message forever.
We love Africa ❤️
in che anno?
@@stilodrom tra il 1988 ed il 90. Al quasar. credo novembre. Non tanta gente, l ambiente non era un granché, credo che molti che erano lì non lo conoscevano. Per noi fu una serata straordinaria. Impressa nella memoria. Grande Fela
@@alek340 ma era all` UMBRIA JAZZ ?
No non Umbria jazz. D'altronde si tiene a luglio e io ricordo era novembre credo. Venni a saperlo quasi per caso. Studiavo li e mi raggiunsero una diecina di amici da varie parti d'Italia per l'evento.
Trips me out how people just be sitting there, not bobbin their head 😂or nothing. That’s so hard for me to do. I can not even not smile when I hear groovy tunes. My insides are like let’s jam, man 💃🏿 🕺🏿
This came on autoplay while I was doing some work.... was loving it so came to see what it is... Being met with beautiful black women playing instruments was f'in brilliant. Absolutely loved this. x
They sound absolutely fantastic, they are slamming!!!!!!!!! Fela would be proud.
Love the brass. A bit of Fela vibes as well. Stunning ladies.
It's a Fela Kuti tune..👍🏿
The trumpeter is amazing!
Fela Kuti lives on!!!. We can hear him all over. Teacher don't teach me nonsense. Colonial mentality (if you know, you know).
those drummer tho insane group sharing love
I love their swagger on stage so layed back and smooth
I can't understand how they can sit on the floor, hearing such a groove! this music is made to dance, not to be listened to without even a nod of the head !! get up and move your bodies!!
For real! I wondered the same thing ahaha
In the crowd's defense, it looks like a restaurant/lounge type of vibe. Not really condusive to dancing. You dont have to get on the dance floor to appreciate true talent. A head nod while enjoying an adult beverage works just as well.
The best Afro Jazz pieces I have ever heard. Those Musicians are phenomenal. 1 million thumbs up. Thank you. More please.
The definition of Black Skin Gold Soul!
... Gold horns!
that guitar solo.... Holy God! thank you guys for the great freshness and freedom in you music! this is so alive with full of energy! just thank you!
oh yeah, just when I think it can't get ANY BETTER...that guitar solo!!!!!!! I'm a guitarist myself....and that shit was fire.
Wow! This is exhilarating. What a mind blowing performance by this group of beautiful and talented young ladies in the UK with roots in Nigeria. Stumbling on this video this morning of May 11th 2019 in Massachusetts has really lifted up my spirit. This video brought back fond memories of my teenage years attending the "Sunday jump" at Fela's African Shrine in Lagos in the late 70s with my buddies. May Nigeria regain her lost glory very soon with the advent of purposeful and visionary leaders to take back her destiny!
Amin!Ase!
WHAT POWER!! I understand that the vibe of sofar is very chill and minimal but I wouldn’t be able to help myself from jumping up and grooving to these sound waves. Absolutely ecstatic grooves. Much love!!!!
TH-cam people, you should be smart enough not to put rotten ads in the middle of pieces of art.
just get adblock
"Colonial Mentality" song by the late Fela Kuti of Nigeria. Fela lives on.
This is what I've been waiting for since I heard Fela in the early 70s!
This group,these incredible young musicians are carrying the great tradition of Afropop into the future!
I cannot tell you how exciting it is to see 3 women in a horn section that can also solo and improvise with the best of players!
I've always been a fan and supporter of music from anywhere in the African diaspora!
This is the new "IT" for me!
Thanks for posting!
Peace
Maestro
Right
....WOW!!! I have NEVER seen ANYTHING like this! BAM!!! They've floored it! Music world, there's a new standard!
Check out Fela kuti and you'd be in awe.
This is so Fella Anikula! Real Afro soul ❤❤❤
I would have 0 issue listening to a three hour album full of these wonderfull sounds! Very cool
This is simply beautiful! The sound, the rythm, the 'woman power'. Well done Kokoroko Afrobeat Collective. Well done Sofar Sounds.
This is jazz and jazz funk afro American music
It’s refreshing to see Black women without blond weaves or trying to mimic European so called standards of beauty. A Black women’s true beauty can’t be denied.
Much respect!!
+J B ~ Thank you❣️
I'm feeling the same way. Love the look!
Yesss they are beautiful!!
J B, Indeed... Bingo!!!😉
Why is it so necessary for you to make as a comment why can't you just enjoy the sisters and let them be my God no one else does this
Wow. This is dope af. That trumpet player is fireeee
You better listen to Lee Morgan or Freddie Hubbard
Every body is on fire!
They are some of the most gifted black women on the earth - we are the queens! of talent and beauty! Black men you better recognize the QUEEN OF QUEENS!
Heavenly grooves. The Afrobeat pioneer lives. Fela Anikulapo Kuti
My beautiful Queens . Never seen anything like this before . I'm sooo proud of them AWESOME!!!
I have nothing but respect and
love for these ladies.
Look at who the audience is
subtil, and magic
These sisters are fire! Yes forever to Afrobeat!
What a gem I stumbled upon!!!!! I must have watched it about 5 times. How this has any thumbs down completely amazes me.
Pharoah Sanders would have definitely been digging the groove.
I am totally in love with Kokoroko!
I was lucky enough to see Dizzy Gillespie perform, many times, many moons ago. This is up there with that, great musicians, fine, fine music!
He was a Blest Bahai . Dizzy was truly a awesome an I agree .
The roots never dies.
Everything about this is beautiful. It may just be me, but I cant help but to think of my ancestors, and how far we have come and how resilient, brilliant, and beautiful we are.
I’m so proud of these women!!!! I wish I could have little of their talent.
Просто шедевр редко встречаю такое чудо. С любовью С Украины)
