COCHEMEA
Hailing from the tropical paradise of Teaneck, New Jersey, COCHEMEA is the enigmatic mastermind behind some of the most infectious grooves in the modern music scene. Armed with a saxophone and a penchant for blending genres like jazz, Afrobeat, and soul, COCHEMEA's music defies easy categorization, much like his choice of Hawaiian shirts defies all fashion norms.
Having cut his teeth playing with legends like Archie Shepp and the Dap-Kings, COCHEMEA brings a wealth of experience to his solo project. His music is a sonic journey through lush forests of percussion, soaring horn lines, and melodies that stick in your head like a well-chewed piece of gum. It's music that demands to be danced to, even if your dance moves are as questionable as COCHEMEA's choice of headgear.
On stage, COCHEMEA is a force to be reckoned with. His live shows are a whirlwind of energy, with the man himself leading the charge, saxophone in hand, a gleam in his eye that says, "I'm about to blow your mind." And blow your mind he does, with a sound that is at once familiar and entirely original, like a long-lost funk record that you stumble upon in a dusty crate at the back of a record store.
In a world where music can sometimes feel sterile and formulaic, COCHEMEA is a breath of fresh air. He's not afraid to take risks, to push boundaries, to wear a hat that might not technically be socially acceptable. And for that, we salute him. Long live COCHEMEA, the sultan of sax, the prince of percussion, the wizard of weird.
