Coco & The Frique was a live, on-the-spot underground music television show, made in WORM. Hosted by Coco María and Arp Frique, each episode featured interviews and performances from local and international musicians. With sketches, animations and crowd interaction, the show was produced by young multidisciplinary makers and performers connected with WORM.
Coco & Arp Frique invited artists from among their group of talented friends around the world. This episode featured Jameszoo and some unexpected accompaniment, and Alabaster dePlume with pals Snow Apple.
Jameszoo the internationally renowned Dutch producer brought the very best boogie-woogie all the way from ‘s-Hertogenbosch, via global acclaim for his releases on Brainfeeder and regular show on NTS.
Manchester-raised jazz sweetheart Alabaster DePlume reminded the audience: don’t forget you’re precious. He was joined by two members of Rotterdam-based international interdisciplinary creative outfit, Snow Apple.
Also sitting in on this episode was Americo Brito, who sadly passed away in the time since this episode was filmed. Americo was an inspiration and friend to Arp and many others in the musical family, and this broadcast is dedicated to his memory.
