Kokolo Afrobeat Orchestra
Band, US
R&B/Soul
Kokolo, also known as the Kokolo Afrobeat Orchestra, is an American Afrobeat band from the Lower East Side of New York City, formed in 2001 by songwriter/producer Ray Lugo. Along with The Daktaris and Antibalas, they form part of the early New York Afrobeat scene that ignited the genre’s current global revival. Their punk-infused blend of Afro-beat, salsa, jazz, and funk has taken them all over the world. The band's self-produced debut album, Fuss and Fight, was recorded at Daptone Records and released in 2002, followed by More Consideration in 2004, Love International in 2007, Heavy Hustling in 2009 and 100 Fevers in 2017.
