Chotokoeu

CHOTOKOEU was originally formed as a percussion ensemble by Brais and Ruben in mid-2007. Little by little more musicians joined and they began their adventures in the bars and festivals of Galicia. In 2009 they won the Galiza Crea competition, a sure sign that the band was on the right track. As time goes by, almost subconsciously, a musical family formed around this different and original project.

The band is formed by Marta Seco (violin and voice), Brais López (sax and computers), Manuel Fonte (guitar and keyboards), Guillermo Giadanes (guitar), David Fernández (bass and voice), Rubén Capelán (drums) y Carlos Argibay (percussion).

Their style of music is varied and suitable for any public: a trip through the world´s music (reggae, ska, klezmer, balkan, swing and folk) mixed with electronic music (electro-swing, drum&bass).

Concerts: CHOTOKOEU have taken their show to all the best venues and festivals in Galicia and part of Spain, (Reperkusión, Castelo Rock, Pardiñas, Antrospinos, etc.).

The band have European and international projection, having already completed 5 tours in Europe (the 5th in 2014) in which they have performed at least 60 shows in 6 countries (Belgium, Holland, Germany, England, Switzerland and Italy).

CHOTOKOEU are without doubt one of the most active bands on the Galician music scene, a collective that is all set to work hard for music with a project that is both direct and original. They are dedicated to infecting everyone with energy, happiness and merry-making.
