"Coco Jamboo" is the title of a song by German Eurodance group Mr. President. It was released in March 1995 as the lead single from their second studio album We See the Same Sun, released in May 1996.
Mr. President was a German Eurodance group from Bremen, best known for their hit "Coco Jamboo". It gave them their only U.S. chart single, peaking at No. 21 on the Billboard Hot 100. Until 1993, the band was known as Satellite One. The band was originally formed in Bremen by DJs Jens Neumann and Kai Matthiesen in 1991 under the title Satellite One. Although the band initially performed at clubs without vocalists, the duo soon realized that they would need singers in order to find success on mainstream music charts. 18 year old Bremen native Daniela Haak and American rapper George Jones were hired to front the band as a duo, but became a trio after 15 year old Judith "T-Seven" Hildebrandt was hired a few weeks later. Following Hildebrandt's insistence to be known as T-Seven on stage, Haak and Jones were convinced to create stage names for themselves, and they did, becoming "Lady Danii" and "Sir Prophet", respectively. 1996 saw Mr. President ease away from its dance roots in favour of a lighter, more exotic sound. The new sound was first featured on the reggae-inspired 1996 hit Coco Jamboo. The full-length album on which Coco Jamboo was released, We See The Same Sun, boasted two more additional singles which were largely successful in Europe. Band active years: 1991--2008.
