SUMMARY:Kokoroko (UK)
LOCATION:Felons Barrel Hall
DESCRIPTION:Kokoroko first formed in 2014 when Sheila Maurice-Grey (trumpe
 t/flugelhorn/vocals) and Onome Edgeworth (percussion) met on an arts trip 
 in Kenya\, bonding over their shared tastes in music. A desire to connect 
 young people in the African diaspora with genres like Afrobeat and Highlif
 e would also fuel the band’s genesis. Before long they were playing gigs
 \, riding a wave of the then nascent “London jazz scene”. In 2018\, th
 eir breakthrough was secured when the sparse ‘Abusey Junction’ was inc
 luded on Gilles Peterson’s ‘We Out Here’ compilation. An understated
  7 minute ballad recorded in an afternoon\, it quickly became a viral hit 
 racking up 75 million streams. Kokoroko’s artistry has matured to a plac
 e that’s now largely representative of the musical melting point and wid
 e range of tastes that comes as Londoners in the black diaspora. It’s th
 is precise notion and the sense of London as an overarching anchor that in
 forms the crux of their second studio album ‘Tuff Times Never Last’. A
  testament to resilience\, joy and the retainment of child-like innocence 
 in the face of adverse circumstances. “ Although we’re reflecting on j
 oy and celebration\, you realize a lot of that beauty comes out of challen
 ges and difficulties. Even in memory\, the times that were tough tend to s
 weeten up ” Edgeworth says of the story behind the album’s title.\n\nB
