"KOKO-means noise in Kenyan ethnic tribe (Luo), the band drew the name Koko(Noise) from the fact that issues affecting the society ought to be tackled through projection of voices in a way that every one get to listen and do something about, which calls for constructive noise.

Koko band has dedicated 10% of its proceeds for community services as a way of giving back to the less fortunate in the society.

Koko band fuses the traditional African instruments and the modern instruments to come up with a unique sound that has traditional chants and adlibs. The rich Koko tones are heighten by the Nyatiti (eight strings traditional African instrument), Chivoti (African flute) Djembe and other African traditional percussions which form the basis of the sweet melodies. Our songs cut across all generations addressed various issues of the world

Koko sings in African traditional dialects, Swahili and English for international appeal which makes its style naturally unique. It reflects pure African traditional tunes brought to modernity by inclusion of Guitars, drum sets and Keyboard. This creates profound world musical appeal.
