Coco Jafro

Dive into the world of COCO JAFRO, a genre-defying powerhouse. From The International Jazz Fest to Kaslo Jazz Fest, their electrifying fusion, led by Moroccan-born guitarist Amine Said, has left an indelible mark on stages worldwide, including Salmon Arm Roots and Blues Festival and the Dragon Boat Festival.
This dynamic collective blends North African traditions with Afro-Latin funk and 60s rhythms, showcased in their 2018 album, Forces of Nature. Recognized as 'Best Live Act' nominees at the Van Isle Music Awards, COCO JAFRO sells out venues like Frankie’s Jazz and Guilt & Co, nominated for Best Urban Artist at Breakout West and regional finalists in CBC's Searchlight.

“Vancouver-based but boasting members from all over the globe, [COCO JAFRO] are purveyors of their own brand of groove that exists at the intersection of funk, soul and acid jazz” – The Snipe News
