Kokoroko - ABUSEY JUNCTION // WE OUT HERE

Kokoroko's new single Age of Ascent is out now 🕊🦅 Listen here ➡️ • Kokoroko - Age of Ascent
Their long-awaited debut album Could We Be More, is due for release on August 5th 2022 via Gilles Peterson’s Brownswood Recordings.
Pre-order the debut album here: Kokoroko.lnk.to/CouldWeBeMoreID
A primer on London’s bright-burning young jazz scene, this new compilation brings together a collection of some of its sharpest talents. A set of nine newly-recorded tracks, We Out Here captures a moment where genre markers matter less than raw, focused energy. Surveying the album’s running order, it could easily serve as a name-checking exercise for some of London’s most-tipped and hardworking bands of the past couple of years. Recorded across three long, fruitful days in a North West London studio, the results speak for themselves: they’re a window into the wide-eyed future of London’s musical underground.
Kokoroko (meaning 'be strong' in Urhobo), are a collective of young musicians brought together by a love for Afrobeat led by trumpeter Sheila Maurice-Grey. They specialise in a soul shaking, horn fuelled sound with West African roots and inner London hues.
'Abusey Junction' is a ballad written by guitarist Oscar Jerome (fast making a name as an artist in his own right). It was written on the roof of a compound in Gambia where the band spent time last year immersing themselves in the soundscapes of the region.
Sheila Maurice-Grey - Trumpet
Cassie Kinoshi - Alto Sax
Richie Seivwright - Trombone
Oscar Jerome (Laurence) - Guitar
Yohan Kebede - Keyboard
Onome Edgeworth - Percussion
Mutale Chashi - Bass

Feb 5, 2024 I had been searching for this song for a long time. The only details I could recall were that it featured an empty town with blinking billboards and a red cat. I also remembered a comment about a guy playing the song through giant speakers to an empty street in Serbia during the lockdown period. With just these two pieces of information, I embarked on a KZbin search using numerous keywords, although I knew it might be futile. Afterward, I checked my list of liked videos, which contained 3,397 videos. After nearly an hour of searching, I finally found the song. Perhaps some 'genius' methods were at play, but after obtaining the song and rediscovering that guy's comment (somewhere below), I felt happy and delighted. It turned out to be a meaningful accomplishment on my birthday😊

I've heard this song echo through every coffeehouse I worked at in my twenties, and play through my ears on late night bike rides home. Its been soundtrack to supper parties and background to evenings falling in both platonic and romantic love. It makes me think of people I used to love, of new friends I've not met yet, and of days spent dancing in the garden with this tune in my head. Its followed me for years and I don't think I'll ever be tired of it.

[@pdrgallo]

I'm so grateful for music. It's such a powerful thing.

The guitarist of this song is an absolute genius. Found this a few months ago but never really found the right comment to make. This song is absolutely magical, and I think a huge part of that is down to that damn guitarist working wonders. This song tells so many stories with every part of it's being. A sad undertone with a curiosity for something more, a hope for something better. It's incredible what a mere instrumental can tell, and this song really does drive that to it's potential. Thank you so much for this gorgeous track, KOKOROKO. We ALL look forward for what else you have in store for us.

i always thought it was a story about a fox that turned into a human and learned to play bongos because he used to raid the bins behind the house a beautiful woman lived in. while he was rooting about in the bins looking for something good to eat he'd listen to her play. sometimes the sun would be shining, other times it'd be raining. but she'd always be playing, and didn't even know someone was listening the sad part you hear in the song is that while he loves his bongos, and accompanying the guitar lady as she plays, he enjoyed his life as a fox and can't find his way back

[@Flashwing]

pitch wife Wait that wasn’t obvious?

[@ellamr9810]

agree with every word! the guitarist is Oscar Jermone .. he wrote the song. and is does his own solo stuff too x x

[@pitchwife7573]

well i mean it's obvious to me

[@thomas2france]

I think it's Oscar Jerome

I first heard this song when I was deeply in love with Alice. That happened in the summer of 2018, in a room in Malaga. She showed me this song and I couldn't believe that I could be so happy. Almost three years later my life has changed too much, we have separated. I am left with all the precious memories and what I learned from her. Also with a 38 hour spotify playlist. Each of those songs mean something to me, kind of like the soundtrack to my relationship with her. "We were together. I forget the rest"

[@metametodo]

That sounds great. For all the complexity and emotions it involves. I keep remembering how great are the things that are going right now in my relationship, also trying understanding how I may be able to love this now, but also later, when things change. I just feel like there's that much to learn and love about all this moment.

[@fjonadhembo6651]

I am happy for you that you take just the good with yourself. Everything is here to teach us something. You are doing it so great and peacefully. Love ❤

We're not really meant to stay with one certain person for eternity... That's just a dream sold to humanity throughout history We're all on the same train ride though, you'll meet people, fall in and out of love millions of times, sometimes multiple times at once ;) til the ride ends... I hope you realize that what truly matters is that you lived a fulfilled passionate life.

[@alexeftihidis3901]

Yes but please share that playlist

[@eszterdobronyi5467]

Depends on your soul. If you're happy, you can smile and dance to this. If you are sad, you can cry to this song. Thank you Kokoroko. Unique art! I love this image with the fox as well. Fits the song.

[@user-lz8mk1qj8v]

Both ?

[@TheAkonman]

I'm willing to go wherever this song is taking me.

[@leonidryzhonkov744]

Something is happening, somebody is living, something and somebody is not, but this masterpiece is internal. Thanks God, we have it, we have great people to share love with us

[@izusblur]

One of the most beautiful tunes I've ever heard.

[@sipzyofficial4379]

I didn’t know how much I needed this in my life. Also just wanted to say I’m pretty sure we’re all getting in touch with our spiritual self lately and I’m proud of all of you for making it this far.

[@ThaisAbout]

this music is deep… like a metaphor of life

I just discovered this song on 06/01/2022. I couldn’t be more happier to have had the chance to hear it in my life time .

[@ROccam-fp9jx]

Me too, four days later. Late to the party, but it's still going on...

[@Cenk_1903]

my friend told about this song at pretty much same date. thanks tunay.

[@kellylogan4650]

Me too!

[@konstantinmilosavljevic2529]

Is it just me or is this song a massage for the soul, making the soreness and stiffness fade away

[@jamallpowell6499]

It took so long before I was able to listen to this song without crying! From the very first listen, this song would crack all the walls of protection I've given myself from my emotions. I'm thankful for it too! This sing help me thru a very hard time in my life. Thank you kokoroko!

[@mallikabuckle8373]

saw this live recently and it was the craziest feeling to hear all this stuff vibrating in the floor and everyone's heart welling up as soon as it started, being on the verge of tears for the length of the song... wow what a tune

[@izathomson5628]

since discovering this song two years ago, every time I come, back I feel like this song is just reflecting back exactly what it feels like to exist in myself and it's giving me that calm reminder that its all okay. I never comment on youtube videos but its so cosy reading what this song uniquely means to everyone

[@courtlandcapwell548]

Everything is not alright in life but everything is good with me ❤

[@danieldesoto6787]

This is beautiful. I wish more people were in tune.

[@grcmg3122]

This is the kinda song that would make me cry and happy at the same time

[@meltingstream3385]

You can feel the comfort, love & a little bit of sadness throughout the song & when it ends

[@zakariabelgoum7850]

this song reminds me of a day before a psychedelic experience that I was planning to do to heal myself from many things I suffered in the past, I was listening to it in front of a mountain in chaouen morocco, God is great.

[@jackbryant1963]

When you die this is the song that plays as your loved ones that passed before you welcome you into the afterlife

[@Dcraig06]

U just make me tear...

[@lunasanja4574]

this is dangerously chill. I like danger. Imagining listening this at a small bar, drink in front of me, sea next to me, breeze in my hair, sand in my toes, love in my heart, gazing at the night stars....

[@pavlovsunhappydog]

Then you meet dangerous Brian..and your night's ruined .

[@lunasanja4574]

lol

[@Dems-fk8sh]

... and poetry in your mouth...

[@pavlovsunhappydog]

And the moment whispers in your ear .. 'everything is alright with the world' ...you star to sway and the sea follows suit. The moonlight kisses you sweetly upon your face like a promise fulfilled. Beauty blows through your heart for old wounds are sealed now by a melody that raises a toast to everything you could be...you dance alone on the beach...I fall in love with you as the trumpet weeps "we will never meet'". The stars you're seeing ..i see too, they console me and tell me 'space is the space for dreams' and it speaks your name 'Luna' as the song ends, just like songs always do. This one will always remind me of you. Sincerely yours in a musical dream. Dangerous Brian......ARRGHHH!..got high again, sorry.

[@lunasanja4574]

lawd, u high as a kite, man! But honestly, nice writing there. * This is the power of your music, Kokoroko! You see this?? *

[@diegotorres1014]

This song has no words.. And still talks deep inside your soul.

[@sterkar99]

Heard this song by mistake one year ago, random KZbin recommendation of the not so many ones. Came out of nowhere and took my heart. One of my favorite songs since then. So many things this song talks about even without words

[@Massivecat001]

I’m listening to this again, just to feel my old self, as once I used to listen to this on loop. I miss myself.

[@sages101]

who asked?

[@mouniabarakat912]

everytime i hear it i feel the same way like when i first heard it...in absolute complete love

This song says "sit down and reflect on the day you've just had." Master piece.

[@bassgirl_denalia9087]

Everything about this track, this band, is utterly beautiful. Oh, to see them live. I hope for blue skies, civil rest, and serenity. We're living in some stressful times. More people need music like this in their lives.

[@dianelisdays]

All these comments are syrop for my heart. People, you are great.

[@mrmemrmeska6048]

I agree. Love you all.

[@hayek77ishida76]

I will use this as a soundtrack to a movie. When I live out my soul. Not despair at lost time like I did. Lets all move forward and wish u all good health.

[@sarhandhif9799]

All those moments will be lost in time like tears in the rain. It's time to live.

[@kojikido477]

I listen to it a lot while driving a car. No matter how many times I listen to it, I never get tired of it.

[@felixlfv]

this song makes the sadness go away. Even in such dark nights when it´s 2am.

[@joolyana6226]

the first "hmmm hmmmmmm" at 1:10 fills me up everytime

[@Kenan-Z]

Pure art! A gift to humanity. Triggered a cascade of good feelings inside me. Serenity defined through not words but notes.
