Kokoura

Burkina Faso meets Senegal in Europe and Brazil! Kokoura means 'something new' and was formed by 3 young African musicians and later completed with 3 young Dutch musicians and the wonderful Brazilian singer Ceumar. Influenced by jazz, blues, samba, reggae and traditional music they are able to blend and mix all tastes into a wonderfull new sound! The base is strong but pure with calebasse, ngoni, djembe and ballaphon. On top of this base the Kokoura musicians add funky horns, jazzy guitar and a smooth bass.
