Led by Uwe Schmidt and inspired by his move from Germany to Santiago, Chile, the Señor Coconut project revisits classics of the 70s and 80s, reinterpreting them with a Latin flair.The project began as Señor Coconut (Uwe Schmidt on his own). Señor Coconut Y Su Conjunto is also Uwe Schmidt. "Y Su Conjunto" means "And His Band" in Spanish, but in fact, the "band" consists of an Akai MPC3000 and S6000.
This page catalogues later releases, for which Uwe invites guest live musicians playing acoustic instruments and changes the name to Señor Coconut And His Orchestra. The band tours extensively, playing a selection of tracks from the entire Señor Coconut project.
