Kokoroko
Ecléctico's ¡Nueva Nova New! features new music of note every Monday. Thanks to Ecléctico's paid subscribers and partners for keeping ¡Nueva Nova New! free for everyone.
Today on ¡Nueva Nova New! on Ecléctico you're listening to Kokoroko, an ensemble of jazz and funk musicians based in London. The group's music is driven by their West African roots, with many of the songs on this album, their debut, layered with an Afrobeat groove. Today's song is funky, buoyant, and powerful—an echo of their name, Kokoroko, which, as you'll read in today's "Go deeper" link below, "actually means 'be strong' in the Nigerian Urhobo language."
"War Dance" by Kokoroko (2022)
