Could We Be More – Kokoroko

Could We Be More is an album built on sonic hybridization and the celebration of organic textures as tools for contemporary architecture. Kokoroko unfolds a musical language expressed through vibrations that converse with the past and the present of the African diaspora. Each piece functions as a laboratory of grooves: the brass section articulates phrases that breathe between infectious beats, while the ensemble sustains an energy that never settles for the traditional. 

Released via Gilles Peterson’s Brownswood Recordings, this debut is not just a display of virtuosity, but a musical architecture that turns joy into technique and heritage into movement, reaffirming that contemporary jazz can be both root and vanguard.
