The Beating Heart of Afrobeats in London
London fell for Afrobeats the moment Burna Boy, Wizkid and Tems started topping UK charts — the genre even has its own Official Singles rundown now Official Charts. But playlists can only take you so far. If you want the bass in your chest and the crowd singing every hook, you come to Cococure.
With three purpose‑built venues, Martin Audio sound systems, and a weekly programme that stretches from Thursday warm‑ups to 4 am Sunday finales, Cococure is where London’s Afrobeats soundtrack moves from radio‑hit to real life.

West‑African Flavours, London Swagger
Fuel up on Suya skewers, Jollof rice and bottomless rum‑punch brunches before the lights dim . It’s dinner‑and‑dance done properly.
