A chance encounter in Barcelona, Spain, brought us together to make this record happen. It’s a precious little marvel of love from Kou Keri Kou and Electric Cowbell. The band started with the aim of making music to dance to, taking inspiration from all over the world with no fear: the music from Cuba, Perú, Jamaica, Congo and Nigeria is as important for Kou Keri Kou as the music played in Europe or in the United States. Los Zafiros, Gary Numan, Los Destellos, Radio Futura, Sunny Ade and Kiko Veneno share place in their imagination and help them create open-minded pop that always looks to the future. Their lyrics are sometimes open, sometimes a bit more cryptic, sometimes political and sometimes biting, but always try to communicate with the listeners while trying to make them dance. Only 300 pressed. Limited-edition.

lyrics
English translation from Spanish for "Canto Negro"
Snake eyes / a worm in the heart / sharp teeth / and on each finger a sting
I'm a black chant in the early morning
The scales tip / always toward me / without saying a word / and without any lie
I'm a black chant in the early morning
