A homegrown, underground afrobeat act.
Kotoa's uplifting sound belongs to the energised streets of South East London. Their debut EP 'Earthwise’ was met with immediate acclaim from some of the UK’s biggest tastemakers, leading to a live performance on Gilles Peterson’s Worldwide FM & a stacked festival run in the summer that followed. More recently, they released their second full EP, ‘Out Of The Dark’. Produced by revered musician and engineer Benedic Lamdin (Nostalgia 77), it's an ode to how music and dance can physically remove tension, provide moments of freedom and help you escape from an over-consuming and often negative world. "Great stuff." Gilles Peterson (BBC 6 Music) "So Good" David Rodigan (BBC 6 Music)
Kotoa plays an uplifting blend of afrobeat, dub, and jazz rooted in South East London and released via Wah Wah 45s.
