Though little known in the US, Mexico’s jazz scene bristles with genre-bending bands, and one of the most creative is Troker. Founded in Guadalajara in 2004, the group has honed a potent fusion of jazz, funk, DJ scratching, and mariachi horns. Stocked with world-class improvisers from different regions of Mexico, Troker creates music that sounds like a soundtrack for a surreal action film, with mesmerizing rhythms and arresting juxtapositions. A sensational live act, it’s the only Mexican band selected to perform in elite international showcases in Europe such as Jazzahead! and Womex. Expect the unexpected.
