I like Latin Jazz, and I like electronica, and I like music that fuses different styles that really shouldn't go together. I also like music And happy day, here we have Senor Coconut..

Senor Coconut's (real name Uwe Schmidt) used to do standard electronic music under the band name of Atom Heart. Feed up with the seriousness of the European electronic scene, he moved Chile, and shortly released an album of latin jazz renditions of classic Kraftwek songs. In his latest project, "Atom™ presents: Around the world with Señor Coconut and his Orchestra" he expands his repertoire to include pop songs from bands like the Eurthmics, Trio, and Deep Purple.


Yes, his mosic is very kitchy, and he may be considered a novelty act. But his music treads the fine line between parody and tribute, and he translates the tunes of into engaging lating jazz so expertly that even between laughing, I find myself dancing.





Tour De France (Kraftwek)



Sweet Dreams are Made of these (Eurythmics)



Da Da Da (some band)




Smoke on the Water (Some hippy band)
