Afriquoi
UK afro electronic pioneers Afriquoi have premiered the visuals for their single, Carnabala, featuring K.O.G. This groovy tune is taken from their new EP, Abobo Nation Part 1, out now via Wormfood Records. Carnabalafeatures Ghana-born, Sheffield-dwelling force of nature K.O.G ripping out an uplifting Ga vocal over the top of the hypnotic balafon lines of percussionist André Marmot. 



Afriquoi have developed a name for themselves across the world for their fusion of music from across Africa with forward-thinking, UK electronic dance music. Not restricted to one country or style, the essence of the project is collaboration. Avoiding the usual African diaspora formula of one charismatic African vocalist backed by a band of local boys, this is a truly pan-African, pan-global project, with regular members hailing from Congo, Gambia, Jamaica and the UK, and bringing in guests on this record from Ghana, Kenya, Nigeria and the UK.
