Cocolo-RD is a young Dominican artist born in 1998 in Santo Domingo whose work reflects the contemporary urban popular music environment of the Dominican capital. The name Cocolo — a term with complex cultural resonances in the Dominican context, historically associated with the Anglophone Caribbean immigrants who came to the Dominican Republic in the twentieth century — may signal an engagement with that particular cultural heritage or may reference the term's contemporary usage in Dominican popular culture. Working in the Santo Domingo music scene, Cocolo-RD participates in the creative ecosystem that has produced so many of the Dominican Republic's most successful contemporary artists.
