Señor Coconut - El Baile Alemán (2026 Re-Issue)
This is a pre-order item and is expected 13th March 2026.
Transamericas reissues Atom™’s Kraftwerk-goes-chachachá classic.
After 25 years out of print, El Baile Alemán — the cult album by Señor Coconut (one of Atom™’s many aliases) — returns on vinyl via Transamericas. What began as a half-joke (“The only way I’d cover Kraftwerk is as chachachá or death metal…”) became a fever-born epiphany: Kraftwerk’s electronic minimalism recast through a tropical imagination — where chachachá, mambo, and cumbia intertwine with glitch, breakbeats, and distressed samples.
