Mestizo Sounds, Presents the Music of Chico Mann - November Show

This show is dedicated to one of my present-day favourite musicians, Chico Mann. He is a multi-instrumentalist and record producer from New Jersey and part of a vibrant multicultural scene from NY.
I discovered Chico Mann in 2010 after buying his album "Analog Drift". A great dance and pop album that gained praise from critics, his peers and fans.
Chico Mann is the alter ego of Marcos Garcia. This musician is not only pursuing a solo music career with his alter ego. He is also a member of Antibalas and a heavy rock band called Here Lies Man. His eclecticism made him pair such a disparity of music influences such as Fela Kuti, Black Sabbath, Africa Bambaataa, Talking Heads, George Clinton and Willie Colon. A very unusual artist.

Jazz Matters
Jazz Matters is a not-for-profit hobby project that I’m extremely proud of.
It began life in May 2021 as NuDirections, a weekly radio show on a London community station. That spirit of discovery still runs through everything I do.
But today, Jazz Matters has evolved into a global podcast platform for Jazz and World music lovers — reaching over 40,000 open-minded listeners across 57 countries on more than 24 platforms.2025/6 marks a new era. My love of music has always gone beyond Jazz, so I’ve created two distinct but connected spaces here
Jazz Matters: Podcasts, Playlists and Music Videos.
Jazz Lines: Blogs, Interviews, Gallery & Pulse for Who's Shaping the Scene.
I’m also preparing a full digital relaunch from my new studio, from 1st May 2026, then every Jazz Matters podcast, mix, and special will stream exclusively from my website—no third-party platforms and no algorithms. Until then, you can listen here and on 24+ podcast platforms.
Alongside the music, you’ll find in Jazz Lines, my platform for blogs, interviews, gallery, and pulse that links to things that catch my ear and eye. A bold new chapter begins soon. New location. New music player. New studio.
Jazz Matters. Because the music — and everything around it — truly does.
Enjoy the music I love
