    London-based 8-piece band Kokoroko release their long-awaited debut album Could We Be More via Gilles Peterson’s Brownswood Recordings.
    Could We Be More is an expansive and ambitious album that speaks to the force of Kokoroko. Each song possesses the energy which so naturally underpins the heartbeat of Kokoroko’s identity - deftly moving through afrobeat, highlife, soul, and funk across the album’s 15 tracks and taking inspiration from a plethora of other influences from West Africa to London and the Caribbean - Could We Be More gifts the listener feelings of homecoming and joy.

    I guess the goal of "War Dance" is to trick the enemy into dancing to this stone groove, and then forgetting why they even wanted to fight in the first place. Peace achieved!
