Mazacote

Mazacote is a hard-hitting world Latin party band playing brass soaked tropical dance beats.

Inspired by the sounds of Colombia, Mozambique and Nicaragua, they  weave driving rhythms and heavy groove with a socially conscious message. 

The band is set to release their 3rd album “Patria” on Justin Time/Nettwerk Music in October 2019.

Performing together since 2009, Mazacote features the captivating voice of Nicaraguan singer/songwriter David Lopez and a groove-heavy rhythm section with Frankie Hidalgo on Bass, Chris Couto on Timbales, Robin Layne on Congas, Japanese pianist Niho Takase and jazz trumpeter Malcolm Aiken. 

Mazacote performs across the globe at music festivals and dance clubs, bringing their world dance party vibes to audiences of all ages! Recent highlights include headlining the Vancouver International Salsa Festival with New York latin jazz trombone legend Jimmy Bosch, as well as mainstage appearances at the Harmony Arts Festival, Townsite Jazz Festival, Carnaval del Sol,  the Vancouver International Jazz Festival, the Winterruption Arts and Culture Festival and the Global Music Festival.
