“Sabe a Revuelta” is the second album by Se Armó Kokoa, also known as S.A.K., an Afrofeminist rap collective and dissident. This work carries the musical production of Sebastián Peralta, regional reference in the production of urban genres, and the scratches of Dj Ada.Fabik, Euge, Valencia and Viki Style make up the group, and the latter answers the 5 questions sent by Filo.news to get to know their music better.1. Since when has this album been in the making? How was the creation process?
“Sabe a Revuelta” has been leavening as such since 2020 with the
Composition of the lyrics, musical production and part of the recording
by the hand of Sebastián Peralta, and I say part since we have
a colleague of the rump is living in France and recorded
From there (go as always our fraternal embraces from the
distance to for Euge). That plus the pandemic conjuncture made this
process an arduous path, with few resources, slowly but surely,
with a lot of strength to take it forward, aware of its power
and importance to Se Armó Kokoa and its audience.
2021 was a full post-production year, with “Fluir” in the
Executive accompaniment, since the reactivation of touches

compete, cover art, video clips, etc.
2022 the launch was already palpitating with the departure of its first cut
diffusion “Rap a la karta” and its respective video clip (available in
Youtube), presentation of the pre-album at the Teatro Solìs in
band format and signing of contract for distribution with Little
Butterfly Records.
2023 we prepare an entry with the second broadcast cut “Puño
in Alto” ft. Alika, great international reference of reggae-rap (les
notice that tremendous video clip is coming) and finally after so much
Macerate the main course is served and TASTES LIKE REVOLT.2. What reflection do you make on the Day of Afro-descendant, Caribbean and Diaspora Women?
Day to celebrate our identity and that we are still alive, of
feel united in our struggle against a system that is not
doubly hostile from his machismo and racism. Day of meeting,
to remember the sisters who are not there, to recognize those who are and
Thank our ancestors for their resilience and the legacy of their
inheritance.
3. How do you interpret the current situation of urban music and specifically rap?
In my opinion “Urban Music” is the name that found the
music industry to put in the same bag many styles and
Musical genres that are fashionable today and are extremely
commercial, therefore its objective is to sell and “stick” to how it gives
place. Unfortunately at present the RAP is placed in this
Bag and what happens when you get put in a bag is that it is diluted
The essence, the root. If you are going to do RAP, keep in mind that those three
lyrics mean more than an urban genre of the bunch, the RAP is
Hip-Hop, is culture of Afro-migrant roots, empowering
Marginalized populations who found their identity in this culture
and in the rhymes and rhythm they found their voice.4. Will there be an official presentation of the album?
If we need it and people ask for it, we are projecting it for
December which is when we have a high probability that our
sister Euge can come from France, if the anteroom in the Solìs
exploded the official presentation must redouble bets so we already
We are rolling up our sleeves to start working on it.
5. What’s next?
Now, last push to get the
clip of “Fist Up” ft. Alika, project for next year the
“Kimbamba” ft. Chabela Ramìrez, but above all enjoy the
result, value the process and RECEIVE, everything that comes from
of this laburazo that we send with our mega afro power
crew S.A.K.
