I have listened to 'Abusey Junction' for at least over 100 times. I'm so happy the whole EP is just as magical and captivating.

Kokoroko (stylised as KOKOROKO) is a London-based eight-piece musical group led by Sheila Maurice-Grey, playing a fusion of Jazz and Afrobeat. - Wikipedia

[@tarabagel1600]

woah this came up on my recommended and i gave it a listen because it looks like the kind of thing Id pick up at a record store just bc the cover art looks interesting and if i picked this up at a record store I would be delighted this is remarkable piece of music right here its so well put together and its so artistic it just leaves a taste of mango on my tongue and gives my nose a whiff of an art studio after a painting has been completed. it reminds me of the cool moments in summer and the warm moments in winter and takes me into the kitchen for some nurturing home cooking. its safe to say I am in love with this ep

[@BigDBrian]

why wouldn't you be delighted if you picked it up at a record store, if you like it so much?

[@tarabagel1600]

@@BigDBrian oh haha I made a mistake I was gonna write I would not be disappointed but i switched it up and never got rid of the not I'll change it now

[@NewAirraa]

I love your description of this. Gave me a whole little movie in my head.

[@sagat666]

Jesus, you're so pretentious, with your forced underestimates of descriptive prowess, and that lack of commas, as if you're so excited with being you forgot to breathe, and the story of everything was so long and exciting you couldn't fit it all in your bag, so filled a pocket and a half, with some odd bits you knew fully well would surely drop out at and produce an awkward moment, at an inopportune time, but then, someone handed me their love, and, shows me simple kindness, and my life will never be the same, and....... (~or words, to that effect)

Check out Cactus Channel and Shaolin Afronauts if you like Budos Band. Menahan Street Band is worth a listen too.

[@nobody-gh2yf]

Permaculture ayyyyye

[@mabeaute8963]

I’m the one who always be asking others how they find such lit tunes… this time I found one all by myself!!!

[@mizpahboy7513]

There is a fifth dimension, beyond that which is known to man. It is a dimension as vast as space and as timeless as infinity. It is in the middle ground between funk and jazz, between deep groove and chilled vibrations, and it lies between the pit of man's primal groove and the summit of his spiritual plane. This is the dimension of imagination. It is an area which we call Kokoroko.

[@smoketillthetoke72]

Afrobrazilian funk jazz lol its so good tho

[@ishaaaaani]

Omg!!

[@souhung69]

I'm high too and I agree

I have Osibisa in mind!!!!!And has the sort of flavours you get from listening to Fania All Stars and the great Puerto Rican outfits that took New York by storm in years past!! But Abusey Junction is certainly out of this world!!!

damn. dats funky......wait, that last song! I heard that years ago at this beach house. we was just looking out the window at the ocean, chillin, with that on a loop and it was beyond perfect.
