Mambo Kurt (born Rainer Limpinsel; 11 April 1967 in Hagen) is a German comedy and novelty act who performs covers of mainstream and classic rock hits.
Mambo has performed at the Wacken Open Air festival and provides music for a German television show called Verona's World. Mambo Kurt performs on a home organ and changes the style of the song into a Bossa Nova, Samba or Polka style song. He also recruits his nearly 80-year-old home organ teacher, Heidi Schultz, to sing covers of the Sex Pistols, Anarchy in the UK, and the Rolling Stone's " Sympathy for the Devil" on his latest live album, Sun of a Beach.[ citation needed]
Despite not being known worldwide, Mambo Kurt has gained a large fanbase, most notably the bands Clawfinger and Rammstein. [1] and has appeared repeatedly on television. [2]
Since Mambo Kurt has a degree in medicine, he is a licensed doctor and thus helped as a vaccinator in 2021 during the Corona crisis. [3]
