 AZACOTE is a hard-hitting world/latin band with deep roots in the music of 
 Venezuela\, Mozambique and Colombia. Inspired by Afro-Caribbean percussion 
 and tropical party sounds\, they play brass-heavy latin dance beats with a 
 socially conscious message.\nTheir Juno-nominated album PATRIA\, on Justin 
 Time/Nettwerk Music\, draws upon themes of identity\, immigration and resis
 tance\, reflecting on the plight of those escaping violence and corruption 
 in Latin America and around the world.\nMazacote has performed across the g
 lobe at music festivals and clubs\, bringing their tropical party vibes to 
 audiences of all ages! Recent highlights include headlining the Vancouver I
 nternational Salsa Festival with New York latin jazz trombone legend Jimmy 
 Bosch\, as well as multiple appearances at CBC Vancouver\, the Harmony Arts
