London eight-piece KOKOROKO bring their soul-shaking blend of neo jazz and Afrobeat to In the Roundhouse - Roundhouse's series of fully seated gigs that bring you closer to the music.
With a name that means 'Be Strong' in the Nigerian language Orobo, the band are making waves for their spin on Afrobeat music and their raucous, horn-fueled live performances. Their sound is inspired by Afrobeat heavyweights such as Fela Kuti, Ebo Taylor and Tony Allen.
Led by London-based trumpeter Sheila Maurice-Grey, the seismic horn section is made up of Maurice-Grey, saxophonist Cassie Kinoshi, trombonist Richie Seivwright, Oscar Jerome on guitar, Yohan Kebede on keys, Ayo Salawu on drums and percussionist Onome Edgeworth.
