KID CREOLE AND THE COCONUTS was born out of the burning embers of the brilliant and trailblazing Dr Buzzard’s Original Savannah Band (Cherchez La Femme).

For 43 years Kid Creole and the Coconuts has been entertaining music lovers around the world. The kid fills out his colourful zoot suits with style and grace. He sings and dances on stage in his inimitable, relentless, and self-proclaimed style; the apotheosis of cool.

The kids is always accompanied by his three dazzling, insouciant damsels-in-distress (the Coconuts) and his funkarific band of renegades.

Born in the Bronx (New York, August Darnell (the Kid) is a man of multiple cultures, incarnations, and personalities. His love of the big band tradition is evident: he travels with 10 musicians who all share his love of the ultimate musical tapestry (pop, rock, R&B, reggae, calypso, funk, jazz, Latin, country, gospel, blues, rap, etc). Their live shows have become the stuff of Legends.

‘Annie I’m not your Daddy’, ‘Stool Pigeon’, ‘I’m a Wonderful thing, Baby’, ‘Endicott’, ‘My Male Curiosity’ and many more memorable tunes are guaranteed to make you shake your booty and other parts.

Make no mistake about it: This is feel-good music! This is technicoloured pizzazz! Music Lovers of all ages and denominations and gradations…. The Banana Boat has arrived. It’s paaaaaartyntime!!! Hachachacha!
