Nigerian cultural chanter and performer, Adekunbi Kosoko, has officially dropped her new single titled 'Màrikótikókó.'
According to a statement by her management, the deeply rooted track is currently available across streaming platforms.

"The release marks a significant moment for Yoruba oral tradition, as Adekunbi brings her soul-stirring vocal expressions and rich cultural heritage to a global audience.

"Màrikótikók is a testament to Adekunbi's singular gift—the ability to transform words into a living, breathing ceremony. Her vocal dexterity and emotional delivery have set her apart as a performer who celebrates people and life's most sacred moments through heartfelt eulogies and cultural expressions," the statement reads.
Widely recognised as the Ewi Queen, Kosoko has built a career around preserving and elevating Yoruba oral traditions. A descendant of the historic Kosoko royal lineage of Lagos Island, she is also the younger sister of Afrobeats star Adekunle Gold.
Beyond performance, she holds a Master’s degree in Music and Performing Arts Education from the University of West London.
