RitmoMasacote is a 13 piece Salsa/Timba/Latin Jazz orchestra comprised of some
of Berklee’s most talented students/alums and some of New York & Boston’s finest
musicians. The orchestra was created with the purpose to bridge the growing
divide between the music and dance genres. This young, charismatic cast produces
commanding presentations full of life, spirit, and energy.
RitmoMasacote was founded out of Boston , MA in 2006 by Composer/Pianist Joel
Massicot, also known as “Masacote”. Joel earned the alias Masacote in 1998 as an
introduction into his piano solos while playing in Washington, DC. Masacote,
Cuban slang, specifically refers to the feeling & rhythm created by combining
the basic percussive instruments in Salsa/Mambo (the congas, guiro, timbales,
clave, and bongo). More generally, this term refers to the design of merging
various elements.
With this design in mind, Joel set about creating an ensemble that would serve
to merge various components of music and dance, shaping the perception of Latin
Music Today. Often coupled on stage with the Masacote Dance Company, the
ensemble is making an impact in cultivating an international appreciation and
demand for danceable and captivating band performances.
RitmoMasacote’s reach extends internationally as far as Australia, China, Japan,
Singapore, Turkey, Germany, Lithuania, Colombia, Brazil, and across North
America, among others. The ensemble’s music can be found on motion pictures,
instructional DVDs, and can be heard on major radio stations and satellite radio
both nationally and internationally. Everyone can relate to the orchestra’s
unique compositions and arrangements with focused directions in Timba, Salsa,
and Latin jazz grounded in Cuban roots.
With two critically acclaimed Latin Jazz albums to its credit, RitmoMasacote is
working to deliver its first Salsa/Timba-focused album for its growing fan base
around the globe.
