People have called Señor Coconut (neé Uwe Schmidt) the grandfather of Latin electronica. We call him Coconuts. Born in Germany but based in Santiago, Chile, Schmidt first made waves in 2000 when his (humidified) Kraftwerk tribute album El Balle Aleman started changing the way people listen to that band, particularly in South America. So in another bold cross-pollinatory move, Schmidt just released another album of electronic reimaginings entitled Around The World, and we've got two exclusive cuts thereof: the album's now famous title track and Daft Punk classic as well as "Da Da Da" another surprisingly ubiquitous hit whose origin can be traced not to French electro-pop megastars, but German one hit wonders, Trio.
