What does C.O.T. mean?
C.O.T. means Circle Of Trust. Back in 2010, our band started performing at a venue with a small stage, in order all of us could see each other and connect better was to form a circle. After a while playing on bigger stages we started making a semi-circle and we like to say that the other half of the circle is completed by the audience.
What type of music do you play?
We play a wide variety of latin rhythms like salsa, merengue, cumbia, timba, bachata, ballenato, reggaeton, bolero, rumba, samba, samba reggae, bossa nova. Also we like to make some fussion with funk, disco and blues. We do play covers, but also play originals, you can check our live videos.
