French jazz-funk group. Originally starting out in mid 2000s, Cotonete are a Paris-based 8 piece, originally gaining fame for renditions of tracks from their contemporaries, the likes of: [a=Deodato], [a=Lalo Schiffrin], and [a=Banda Black Rio]. Replicating the heavy grooves, sweaty jazz-funk, with a nod to the Brazilian warmth and beach breeze. Before bowing out of the game thinking the fun was over. Fast forward to more recent times, having had their flame reignited by [a=Melik Bencheikh], head honcho of Paris vinyl emporium, Heartbeat Vinyl. He encouraged the band to get back together, and over the last two years the band released four EPs of original material –including a collaboration with master disco DJ/producer [a=Dimitri From Paris]– quickly becoming collectors items, and now they finally presenting a full body of work, with their album debut "[m=1482963]" (2019).
