Listen to KOKOROKO's new jam 'Baba Ayoola' now

KOKOROKO have dropped a new tack, 'Baba Ayoola'.

The song is dedicated to the grandfather of the band's saxophonist, Cassie Kinoshi, and it's exactly the kind of bright, rolling jam that we need going into the end of 2020.

The single is KOKOROKO's third for Brownswood and follows 'Carry Me Home' from earlier this year.

They have also become a staple of the UK festival circuit, so if you're missing that live vibe, check the band's performance for the BBC Proms back in September.
