The award-winning singer and songwriter Tokunbo comes to Kito in Vegesack and presents songs from her album “Golden Days”. Known as the frontwoman of Tok Tok Tok and honored with five German Jazz Awards, Tokunbo’s current work is mentioned in the same breath as Sheryl Crow, Stevie Nicks and the grand dame of folk, Joan Baez.
Tokunbo wanted to write new music full of confidence and security, because that’s what the world needs at the moment, says the singer and songwriter. To do this, she retreated to a small garden shed and let nature inspire her. “Golden Days” is her third solo work, after many years as head of the acoustic soul band Tok Tok Tok on many stages worldwide.
You can hear a warm-hearted mixture of folk and jazzy pop, with a pinch of country. Poetry and storytelling meet melodic beauty. The song poet convinces live as well as on her albums with her special voice – sometimes delicate, sometimes earthy-dark – and her unique presence. On stage she invites us into her mysterious song world with filigree guitar sounds and reduced arrangements.
