A virtual United Nations of women members of Cocomama hailing from around the globe gather their musical influences from far and wide. Salsa, Soul, Afro-Cuban, and Latin jazz are some items on the menu when they hit the stage. Led by Mayra Casales, Nicki Denner, and Jennifer Vincent, the band has performed at the United Nations, Brooklyn Academy of Music, Metropolitan Museum of Art, Central Park, New York City Marathon, Joe’s Pub, Studio 54, and other venues. They are also musical ambassadors for the US State Department to Latin America, performing at festivals such as the Cape May Jazz Festival and Montclair Jazz Festivals. Their critically acclaimed albums Quiero (2016) and Women’s World (2023), cover a wide range of genres from salsa to soul. Thanks to a grant from the Chamber Music of America, they are recording their third album Evolución for release in 2025.
