Our Take
Our Take
KOKOKO! brings a unique blend of afrobeat, electronic, and punk influences to their debut album, Butu. The Congolese collective's unconventional approach to music creation is evident from the first track, with a cacophony of distorted synths and pounding drums that hit you like a punch to the gut. It's like listening to Fela Kuti jamming with Daft Punk in a post-apocalyptic dance party.
The album is a wild ride from start to finish, with tracks like "Blvd Lumumba" and "Azo Toke" providing infectious rhythms that will have you moving your feet uncontrollably. But it's not all about the beats - KOKOKO! also explore more introspective themes on tracks like "Tongos'a" and "Malembe," showcasing a depth and range that sets them apart from other electronic acts.
Butu is a bold statement from a band that refuses to be pigeonholed, blending traditional African sounds with modern production techniques to create something truly groundbreaking. KOKOKO! have truly carved out their own niche in the music world, and Butu is a strong statement of their artistic vision. So if you're looking for something fresh, exciting, and just a little bit weird, look no further than KOKOKO!'s Butu.
