Bongo Joe presents “Club Coco”, a summery outernational Latin and afro rooted music compilation
curated by Coco María. An attempt to give back something to music lovers around the world and
print on an object a piece of the essence of the community that has been gathering around her
weekly radio show at Worldwide FM.
In many ways, Coco María is like a music detecting sunflower. Just naturally she is turning her ears
into the direction from where happily vibrating music from all around the world is emerging. She is
a DJ and radio host whose musical selection tr ansmits the energy of the Caribbean, Brazil and the
rest of Latin America through records full of samba, jazz, charanga and cumbia, whilst embracing
an internationalist vibe that can also include the most eclectic influences.
This LP gathers some of the i nescapable artists that have been part of Coco María’s shows. The
list includes Nico Mauskovic, La Perla, Meridian Brothers y Grupo Renacimiento, Graham Mushnik,
La Redada, Alex Figueira, Frente Cumbiero, Les Pythons de la Fournaise, Romperayo, Malphino,
Max Weissenfeldt and even Coco María herself.
In many ways, the tracks of the album showcase how these artists use music to reconcile both their
pride in Latin American and Afro culture as well as their interest in being part of the cosmopolitanism
of big European cities. Thus, each track adds a particular detail into building a perfect soundtrack
for a community that is always travelling back and forwards between both regions, always looking
for songs that explore the furthest frontiers of tropical music while staying true to the roots of their
genres.
