    Ocote Soul Sounds consists of Martín Perna, known for founding Antibalas, the NYC collective that sparked an Afrobeat revival and Adrian Quesada, of the Austin-based super-group Grupo Fantasma. In their music, the grit and funk of the gridlocked NYC streets intersect seamlessly with the voices and rhythms of dusty Latin American lanes. Both grew up on hip hop, jazz, and funk, both taught themselves to play multiple instruments; both founded game-changing, booty-shaking big bands; and both were deeply moved by a powerful spirit of social and political activism, the spirit of ocote.
