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. In 2022, Bokoya released their album 'Hausensession' on Melting Pot Music. For their next full-lenght project 'Minari' – due this Summer – Bokoya teamed up with Cologne-based Jazz musician and producer Gianni Brezzo. As a live band, Bokoya created a strong and original concept of composing on the spot, performing unheard songs on the stage. Between disciplined funk patterns, a haunting solo might appear, leading the way into a beautiful ambient soundscape. Colorful grooving and floating atmospheres are built with the vibe and response of the audience. Surely - every Bokoya performance will take you for a ride.
