Señor Coconut y Su Conjunto - Tour De France

Their Kraftwerk cover was brilliant. Few realize the beauty of its beaty brilliance. The never made album about the Tour De France was such a great concept that Kraftwerk finally realized it in the Tour's Centennial Year.
It is a beautiful barrage of rhythm in the merengue framework. Few works of music these days are this reworkable. That is why I appreciate the work of Mark Kozelek more than ever.
The breakdown in the middle is above and beyond. Funky and odd beyond words.
The ability to rework a song is a hard thing to accomplish in a tasteful manner and I give props to el Sr. Coconut.
