Bokoya is a four-piece jazz/hip-hop band from Cologne who plays improvised beat music. Like a four-headed human drum machine, Bokoya improvise, shape, and develop beats in the electric field of repetition and variation. It’s impossible to put a tag on Bokoya’s music.
BADBADNOTGOOD, Dilla, Krautrock, Ambient and dub might work as rough reference points for the music but don’t do it justice. After a sling of releases on Wadada Records, Bokoya are now signed to Melting Pot Music where they will release their forthcoming projects.
