Multi-instrumentalist and composer Cochemea Gastelum carries music in his DNA. With more than 25 years on the international stage, he has collaborated with artists including Sharon Jones & The Dap-Kings, Amy Winehouse, The Roots, and Quincy Jones.
Now touring his latest album, Vol. 3: Ancestros Futuros (Daptone Records), Cochemea weaves together past, present, and future into a richly immersive musical experience.
Blending spiritual jazz, funk, and ritualistic soundscapes, Cochemea draws on his Yaqui heritage to explore themes of ancestry, identity, and resilience.
Live, he delivers an intense and hypnotic performance where saxophone, flute, and percussion merge into something both deeply rooted and otherworldly.
