Kid Creole & The Coconuts created a generation of Latin lovers in London in the early 1980s with a string of outstanding live shows and great albums. Founded by Canadian-born, Bronx-raised August Darnell (AKA Kid Creole) their patent mixture of funk, pop and Latin had a big impact on clubland and the UK charts, with three top ten hits spinning off their Toprical Gangsters album in 1982 alone - Stool Pigeon, Annie, I'm Not Your Daddy and I'm A Wonderful Thing, Baby. With recent re-issues of their old Ze Records waxings, and new hipsters learning to love that Tropical Gangster sound when Latin begat Disco in Studio 54 – Kid & The Coconuts throw La Linea a special Lifeboat Party. Bring your dancing shoes. ‘The format of the new Kid Creole and the Coconuts show is nonstop action ... It is so kinetic it makes one want to dance and so melodic one goes away humming the tunes’ – New York Times |
