Koalas Desperados

Chart archive

Interpreter: Koalas Desperados
Label: Rootdown Records
Location: Germany/Various

Thilo Jacks and Manar El-Abed are the Koalas of the title, and they rope in an enormous crowd of contributors to form their collective. Reggae-based grooves dominate as the collective agitates for the legalisation of eucalyptus. Nasty little buggers, koalas – look at ‘em the wrong way and they’ll have your arm off. But not these ones, of course, these are much more friendly and positively force you to have a good time all the time.
