Kokoroko live in Paris

Experience Kokoroko live on September 6th

Kokoroko, a London-based band, will perform at the Parc de la Villette within the Quartier de la Villette in Paris on September 6th, 2026. The group is known for its contemporary interpretation of Afrobeat, drawing heavily from elements of jazz, funk, and soul. Their music often features intricate horn arrangements, hypnotic guitar lines, and vocalist Sheila Maurice-Grey’s distinctive vocals, creating a sound that is both energetic and deeply rooted in West African musical traditions.

The Quartier de la Villette is a large urban park located in the 19th arrondissement of Paris. Originally conceived in the 1980s as part of a major urban renewal project under President François Mitterrand, it was designed to be a multi-cultural and multi-disciplinary space. The park houses numerous cultural venues including the Cité des Sciences et de l'Industrie (City of Science and Industry), concert halls like La Philharmonie de Paris, and open-air performance spaces. It’s notable for its architectural diversity and its commitment to providing accessible cultural experiences.
