Cochemea

Music is in multi-instrumentalist and composer Cochemea Gastelums bloodhe comes from a long line of musicians on both sides of his lineage. For over 25 years, Cochemea has built a distinct career as a soloist, section player, and composer/ arranger, collaborating with artists across genres from his long tenure with Sharon Jones and the Dap- Kings to work with Kevin Morby, Run The Jewels, Jon Batiste, Amy Winehouse, The Roots, Archie Shepp, Mark Ronson, and Quincy Jones, among many others.His forthcoming album on Daptone Records, Vol. 3: Ancestros Futuros, is the third volume in a series that includes All My Relations (2019) and Vol. 2: Baca Sewa (2021). Across his body of work, Cochemea interweaves the past, present, and future, engaging with time as speculative history one that moves fluidly between memory and possibility.For Vol. 3: Ancestros Futuros, he gathered a core group of longtime collaboratorsa powerhouse octet of New York City percussionists and members of Daptones famed rhythm section. Gabriel Roth (aka Bosco Mann) returned as producer and mixing engineer, capturing the band live to 8-track analog tape. Accompanied by a 9-minute film mixed in Dolby Atmos, this volume also marks Cochemeas evolution into visual storytelling.Cochemeas previous releases have been praised by DJs and critics alike. His Daptone debut, All My Relations, was a family reunion of sorts, uniting spirits, musicians, and melodies across time and place. Leading a nine-piece ensemble, he recombined ancient elements drums, winds, and voiceinto a deeply personal meditation on the interconnection of all things. Vol. 2: Baca Sewa directed this exploration into the archives of family history, mythology, and the cultural imaginary. Pitchfork called All My Relations equal parts spiritual journey and irrepressible funk. Mojo awarded the album four stars, noting its message of harmony and oneness is universal, while Downbeat described Vol. 2: Baca Sewa as radiating like a flower from beginning to end.
