Biography

Kokolo, also known as the Kokolo Afrobeat Orchestra, is an American Afrobeat band from New York City's Lower East Side, formed in 2001 by songwriter/producer Ray Lugo.

Kokolo's second album, More Consideration (2004), featured more complex orchestrations and was released by Freestyle Records.
