ICONIC | Kokoroko: Afrobeat in the heart of London

Just a few notes are enough to work their magic. A trumpet rises, the percussion ignites... and suddenly, London becomes Lagos.

For this new ICONIC format, MansA shines a spotlight on Kokoroko, a leading figure in London jazz. Led by trumpeter and composer Sheila Maurice-Grey, the collective brings together Afrobeat, soul, and jazz in a shared trance where bodies respond to each other and roots intertwine.

Their music speaks of heritage and the future, of a breath that crosses continents. A lively, vibrant, irresistibly human celebration.
