Pianist Nicki Denner, percussionist Mayra Casales, and bassist Jennifer Vincent ring in the new year in the acclaimed ensemble's first engagement with Downtown Music at Grace. Cocomama Trio plays an original blend of chamber music informed by the rich musical traditions of the Americas, including Afro-Cuban, Jazz, and Brazilian sounds. The members are leaders in their own right, and each have performed with legendary artists ranging from the Duke Ellington Orchestra to the O'Jays. In the words of Vicky Sola at Latin Beat Magazine, Cocomama is "brimming with originality, authenticity and swing"-- we think you'll agree!

This concert is made possible, in part, with the generous support of Dagher Engineering, PLLC.
