The main purpose here is to share with the YouTube community the musical visual history of Coati Mundi which in turn would also include that of the groups he has been predominantly associated with; Kid Creole & The Coconuts and Dr. Buzzard's Original Savannah Band.

We are particularly spotlighting videos that heretofore have not been made publicly available or have not been widely seen since their initial release period. Hopefully the viewer would find these audio/visual presentations along with any accompanying descriptions to be enjoyable or at least interesting. Subscribing is encouraged and there is no charge :-)
