Los Mocochetes is a Xicano/Funk band from the ancestral, occupied and unceded lands of the Tsis tsis’tas¹, Hinono’eiteen², Ka’igwu³, Weenuchiu⁴, Anasazi⁵, Newe⁶, Diné⁷, Ndee⁸, Inday⁸, and Dine’é⁸ (commonly referred to as Cheyenne¹, Arapahoe², Kiowa³, Ute⁴, Pueblo⁵, Shoshone⁶, Navajo⁷, Apache⁸) and other peoples now known as Denver, CO.
Los Mocochetes have devoted their lives to using their machetes for good. Every performance draws on the elements, the directions, the ancestors and the great mystery. Each song is a prayer meant to move your feet, stir your spirit, and to remind you of the incredible power you have to heal yourself and the 7 generations forward and back. Aho. Mitákuye Oyás’iŋ.
