Kokota Mabaya
Kokota Mabaya is the Portuguese duo of violinist Maria do Mar and percussionist César Burago. Their partnership centres on structured improvisation and explores the timbral potential of violin and percussion.
Live at Casa da Cultura de Setúbal (CS899) documents a concert recorded on 11 January 2025 at Sala José Afonso, Casa da Cultura de Setúbal, in a double bill with Sucuri organised by Disrupção.
The duo develops detailed acoustic relationships between string textures and percussion, sometimes crossing expectations of which instrument provides melody or rhythm.
