“Take an incredible musical journey with Cocomama, an all-female band appropriately named for the Incan goddess of health and happiness. Brimming with originality, authenticity and swing, this diverse group of virtuosic musicians dazzle…” – Vicki Sola, Latin Beat Magazine
A virtual United Nations of women, the members of Cocomama hail from five countries on four continents. Playing their own kind of World Latin music, powerfully virtuosic yet elegantly musical, Cocomama “brings it” creating a sound that is all at once fierce and beautiful!
