Mambo Kurt (born Rainer Limpinsel; 11 April 1967 in Hagen) is a German artist who does covers of various mainstream and classical/modern rock hits. More than just a comedy and novelty act, Mambo has played The Wacken Open Air festival and provided music for a German television show called Verona's World. But when he plays the covers, he does them a little different from the usual type of song, as he plays a Hammond Organ and changes the style of the song into a Bossa Nova, Samba or Polka style song.
