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 Veronas Welt. Mambo Kurt performs on a home organ and changes the style of songs to bossa nova, samba or polka. He has also recruited his elderly home-organ teacher, Heidi Schulz, to sing covers of the Sex Pistols' "Anarchy in the UK" and the Rolling Stones' "Sympathy for the Devil" on his live album Sun of a Beach.
Despite not being known worldwide, Mambo Kurt has gained a large fanbase, most notably the bands Clawfinger and Rammstein, and has appeared repeatedly on television.
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.
