Latin/classical/jazz trio Besos de Coco was founded by Evona Wascinski (Escencia), tap dancer and percussionist Claudia Gomez Vorce, and singer-guitarist Lorraine Castellanos (guitar/vocals).

In 2018, the group was reconfigured by Wascinski and Gomez (no longer going by Vorce), without Castellanos, as the Besos Trio, with new guitarist Beston Barnett (Zzymzzy Quartet, Flimz).
