Impressed by Afrobeat artist Dele Sosimi, KOKOROKO’s “Carry Me Residence” mixes Nigerian rhythms with jazz influences to kind a hypnotic tune. It’s upbeat, groovy and wildly infectious. “Earlier than melody or concord, there’s rhythm,” Sheila Maurice-Gray, KOKOROKO’s band chief, says of the discharge. “Carry Me Residence” has only a few vocals, however breathy harmonizing provides layers and leaves area for an ebbing and flowing saxophone.
