WE GOT GENTE ROLLING FROM THE 303!
Don’t miss this month’s HIGHLIGHT!

Los Mocochetes are a Xicano Funk band out of Denver Colorado, with deep roots from the Mora Valley in northern Nuevo Mexico and to the south from Juarez, MX. By combining elements of cumbia, reggae, hip-hop, rock, funk, and more, Los Mocochetes composes music to unite the gente and create revolutionary music you can dance to.

The word Mocochete is a term coined by the group to mean “mocosos con machetes”. In life, most mocosos (snot-nosed “brats”) develop physically to the point where they are strong enough to wield a tool or weapon, such as a machete. How you use that tool has lasting consequences and defines the mark you leave on the world with great potential for both creation and destruction. This duality exists in all of us.

The Poet!
Jose “Jozer” Guerrero is a poet, musician, actor, MC/Motivational speaker and educator. His work has been featured on HBO, Univision, PBS, American Theater Magazine, Button Poetry, and TedTalks. Guerrero is also a three-time Individual World Poetry Slam finalist, 2 time Brave New Voices Finalist, and 2 time National Poetry Finalist. He is a member of Award-Winning Chicano Funk band Los Mocochetes and Denver’s Premier Slam Poetry team Slam Nuba. has dedicated his entire career to creating critical art and music that speaks on the issue our communities face, seeking to inspire, inform and mobilize the community, with edgy lyrics, mesmerizing beats, and a powerful performance.
