Nigeria and the world need people like KING SUNNY ADE. He gave KOKORO this golden opportunity to stage his (KOKORO) performance. Thanks to KSA for his selfless act. Obviously, King Sunny Ade believes in live and let others live. King Sunny Ade for PRESIDENT. God Bless.

im 42 years of age. The 1st time i saw kokoro was around 1980. He seems old then. It's amazing he was still alive till 2007. What a street legend. RIP
When the history book of Yoruba street percussion is finally written, KOKORO will feature prominently in it. - RIP.

** FROM E-MAIL RECEIVED about KOKORO**
Kokoro and his music, a one man gang, made me so nostalgic. My initial contact with him was about middle forties. He walked the length and breath of Eko, though he was visually challenged, and was often a nocturnal visitor at our house on Catholic Mission St , the site of the present Lagos City Council. I am sorry he passed, may his soul find perpetual rest.
