Formed in 2008, Cocomama is an international group of musicians based in New York City. A virtual United Nations of women, they are from such diverse places as Cuba, Israel, France, Argentina, Mexico, Oregon and Wisconsin.

Cocomama has performed at the Iridium Jazz Club, the United Nations, the Brooklyn Academy of Music, the Metropolitan Museum of Art, Central Park, the Cape May Jazz Festival, the New Jersey Performing Arts Center and other popular venues throughout New York City. The group is now attracting a national audience following performances at the Spoleto Music Festival in South Carolina and the Michigan Womyn’s Festival.
