Argenis Brito Live
 

Argenis Brito was born in Caracas, Venezuela. From an early age, he showed interest in music and at the age of 13 was already a singer in a popular group in Venezuela that became very well know in the early 80's in Latin America and the U.S. In 1985 he formed his first band called "Wag", where he played the bass, did back-up vocals and wrote music. Moving to NYC in 1994 looking for new horizons, he played in different session bands until he met with the chilean rockstar Jorge Gonzalez. It was then that his interest in electronic sonorities began. The two of them worked closely together on the project "GM and his thinking congas", an album which main aim was to combine classics of Latin American music with the sound of electronic music. Producer Dandy Jack, Tobias Freund and Uwe Schmidt a.k.a. Atom tm also participated in this project. Due to the contact made with Atom tm in Chile they started working on the second album of Atom's project "Sr. Coconut", which consists in cover versions of classical pop and rock songs in a peculiar latin-cha cha cha-mambo interpretations. He participates as a singer and the orchestra’s front man and since then they have been touring all over Europe, America and Asia and have released three albums.

Parallel to Sr. Coconut's activities, he met with producer Pier Bucci and developed the project "Mambotur", which is also focused in the experimentation with latin and electronic music but with a very different approach, creating original tracks and mixing very different influences from both, latin and electronic music. They released two albums and performed in major festivals and venues across Europe.

In 2002, he changed his residence to Berlin and began participating on several projects together with producer and founder of Contexterrior media, Jay Haze; this time more dance floor oriented, with a strong inclination to minimal, funky and house sounds.  In April 2006 his first solo work "Sentidos Opuestos" was released, and since then he have been performing together with renowned djs and producers of the electronic music scene. In June 2007 his latest double e.p. "Micro Mundo" was issued by Cadenza records.
