Iroko launches Avishai Cohen's longtime dream "to do a Latin project with his favorite Latin musician in New York".

Iroko launches Avishai Cohen's longtime dream "to do a Latin project with his favorite Latin musician in New York". Israel based bassist - singer and master conguero-vocalist Abraham Rodriguez Jr., brim with tunefulness, grooves, warmth, indelible melodies and the bonds of brotherhood to summon Yoruba gods. In Yoruba lore, Iroko is a complicated symbol-a troll inhabiting the top branches of a tree called "the throne of god," guarded against lest he come to earth, be seen and drive men mad. But Iroko, the French naïve label's unique release by singer-bassist Avishai Cohen and conguero-vocalist Abraham Rodriguez Jr., brims with tunefulness, grooves and warmth.
