Global A Go-Go presents:
Celestial blues
Kokoroko is a young octet from London fronted by three female horn players; their music bridges Afrobeat, highlife and modern jazz. They’ve released an EP and a couple of singles so far, and I expect more good things from them in the future.
Kokoroko’s brand new single “Baba Ayoola” is a tribute to saxophonist Cassie Kinoshi’s grandfather. It’s an ideal introduction to their sound and you’ll be hearing it on this week’s episode of Global A Go-Go.
Also this week (Monday November 23, 3:00-5:00 PM on WRIR, for two weeks afterwards at wrir.org/listen, check your local listings for airing on other radio stations, and any old time at my podcast site): acoustic music of the Sahel, old-fashioned Afropop is sounding good to me right now, three 5-star albums of South African jazz, modern highlife from Ghana and the roots of Colombian champeta, where cumbia meets Afrobeat.
