Cuco - Lover Is A Day | Audiotree Live

Cuco is a Chicano singer and multi-instrumentalist who obsesses over cheesy love songs from a generation long gone. He swirls together oldies and early 2000's Chicano Rap with modern trap and psych to create a sultry, smooth sound. Bolstered by walloping west coast rhythms and wavy keyboard lines, Cuco and his band craft romantic ballads that are familiar but fresh and elastic enough to fit almost any setting. Check out the performance by Cuco on Audiotree Live.

Recorded on January 17, 2018 in Chicago, IL.

Imagine joji and cuco did a collab My life is complete

[redduck]

The most fascinating thing to me here is that he isn't a great singer, which is okay, not every musician has to be. But as someone mentioned, he's so proficient in mastering and mixing that he made his voice sound incredible, which is talent in and of itself. Being a multi-instrumentalist is also absolutely crazy, and Cuco knows his craft. Even if he hasn't got the greatest pipes, Cuco is destined for great things, no doubt.

I love how people keep saying, “he sounds nothing like the studio version.” It was because he was sick here.

[mexicansoccerking]

This kid is super underrated, love his music!

[mouis]

I like how he transitions to different speeds like it was nothing

[chill-nicc]

No offense, he sounds like a sick barney, but I love his songs lol.

[joilewis]

omg. I was expecting him to bust out the trumpet, then BOOM! guitar solo.. I melted into the ether

[flyingboxcow]

The guitar solo😩 he really is a talented musician

[alfonsoandrade]

Me da gusto por el cuco, tiene mucho talento. Si se hubiera quedado en latinoamerica probablemente hubiera cantado reggaeton.

[joeglo_]

I do like Cuco as a musician overall and enjoy his art a lot. But as a GUITARIST... holy shit if he made a guitar instrumental album I would be very happy

[polaroidjay]

It sounds like oldies slow jams live like this.

[giselaswaragita]

Every one in the room is sooo talented! And let's appreciate that Liano drummer who can show sick drumming skill in a particularly soft song. He also has an album on his own that is very enjoyable.

[Emasolano]

Los prefiero en vivo por la batería y el sonido más crudo de la voz. Cómo es que hacen una progresión tan dulce de jazz, los instrumentos acompañan perfectos, la linea del bajo le da tanto cuerpo y suavidad, los teclados y la guitarras le dan ese sonido tan melancólico-cálido; definitivamente una obra de arte a mi parecer. Ojalá que cuando vuelva a México pueda verlos en vivo, son geniales estos chicanos.

[doogbazzard]

Much talent in this performance, the drummer especially is killing it!

[RandyLacrosse]

good lord.... i can't stop watching this over and over again. thank you discover weekly for showing me my new favorite groove band. everything about Cuco is just so damn smooth. COME TO ATLANTA

I actually like this version more than the studio one, it’s more raw and in my opinion it just sounds cooler

[raves_r]

yeah singing is a gift not everyone has but writing amazing songs like these takes more than talent and practice. not everyone can express their emotions through lyrics and rhymes.

[alexisnicholas]

I have to agree with other dudes saying that he sounds different for the studi version, but he's trying his best and it's great, you just really need to appreciate cuco.

[e_xtazzy]

His music flow is gawd... I can't find any music like his, very talented and unique.

You guys ever feel like your not good enough for someone.
