More about: KOKOROKO

8-piece band Kokoroko have announced their long, long-awaited debut album today with the release of new single ‘We Give Thanks’. Could We Be More arrives 5 August on Brownswood Recordings, after four years of the group making their name in London’s afrobeat scene.

‘We Give Thanks’ is a delight to listen to, brimming with the kind of musical detail that can only be achieved with an 8-piece band. Inspired by West-African and Caribbean music, it’s a track that was just made for the stage.

Here’s how Kokoroko explained the track: “We were imagining playing live with this one - it's definitely written with that energy we get towards the end of a set. Some shows, like La Cigalle in Paris or Paradiso in Dam have legit felt magical for us & you always want to give that energy back. This is us trying to do that.”
