JUNO-nominated world/latin band MAZACOTE is a hard-hitting six piece with deep roots in the music of Colombia, Mozambique and Venezuela. Inspired by Afro-Caribbean percussion and tropical party sounds, they play brass heavy latin dance beats with a socially conscious message. Their new politically-charged album PATRIA on Justin Time/Nettwerk Music draws upon themes of identity, immigration and resistance, reflecting on the plight of those escaping violence and corruption in Latin America and around the world.
