Tuff Times Never Last
Kokoroko
This 2025 release finds the London collective shifting away from upbeat dance anthems. The compositions operate like a private exchange among peers, pairing intricate brass sections with a calm, assured delivery.
Recorded audio replicates the genuine heat of musicians playing in the same room. The music merges jazz traditions with the rhythmic heartbeat found in West African highlife to suit a quiet weekend morning.
