Calacote y Maffio – AZAFATA

Calacote is a 21-year-old urban Latin artist from the Dominican Republic with French and American heritage. He was recently discovered and signed after posting tongue-in-cheek performances of his own music on social media, catching the attention of Dominican artist and urban music producer Maffio who initiated a collaboration.


The singer flavors his dembow, perreo, bachata, and merengue musical roots with bolero, punk rock, French rap, and American hip hop. It is a playfully provocative sound that feels completely unique, infusing the Dominican music movement with an international flare.

His time living in France gave rise to the artist name Calacote, derived from a French street slang expression that means cool or dope, but the name is pronounced with a Spanish accent.

Calacote’s sound has been consistently praised as characteristically his own. He looks to redefine and lead the “nueva ola” of Dominican urban music, making his cultural heritage known and accessible to an international scene.
