Preview: In the Round: Kokoroko @ Roundhouse (London; Tuesday 28th January 2020)
KOKOROKO had been one of the sensations of the year just ended. Throughout 2019, the London-based big band has simply amazed its audience with a jam-packed agenda of gigs and their self-titled debut EP featuring their characteristic smooth vibes, rhythmic richness and far-reaching inspiration fusing afrobeat with jazz and funk with soul.
So, we are delighted to keep on with the past year’s good habits inviting you to KOKOROKO’s first show of 2020 at the Roundhouse, part of the yearly In the Round music festival. On Tuesday the 28th of January, the eight-piece band will indeed head to Camden to give you additional reasons to love them and put on scene the reasons why they are considered among the best acts of the contemporary UK music scene.
