About Us
Cocoliche Trio
COCOLICHE is a trio that blends classical forms, tango melodies, Argentine folk rhythms, and jazz harmonies into a distinctive, unique sound. Their remarkable and captivating style reflects this fusion, drawing inspiration from artists such as Brad Mehldau, Alberto Ginastera, Radiohead, and Ástor Piazzolla.The name COCOLICHE is inspired by a linguistic phenomenon from early 20th-century Buenos Aires, where Italian immigrants and Argentinians created a hybrid language. This cultural fusion lies at the heart of Cocoliche’s music, making their original compositions a vibrant intercultural journey.
