Coqui is a songwriter, singer, instrumentalist, and music sequencer/programmer that has had a number of accomplishments in Peru, including writing the theme song for a popular Peruvian soap opera. His current residence is in Toronto Canada, and now Coqui is releasing an album he recorded in Peru, “Buscando Virgenes” (translated “searching for virgins”), of South American flavored rock and pop. Which also has a song in English called Angel in Bowling Green, tribute to a city in Kentucky - USA. A native of Lima, Peru, Coqui (a nickname for Jorge -- his given name is Jorge Llontop) has done much of that kind of music work in Peru. Coqui, who first performed in public at age 19 when he filled in for a rhythm guitarist, has done work for documentaries (including one called The Incas about Peruvian culture) and campaigns in Peru. He also wrote a theme song for the soap opera "Secretos" in Peru; the song title was "Muchacho de Barrio". In addition, Coqui did jingles for several products sold in Peru, from jeans to soda, and he provided music for both circus shows (and doubled as announcer) and a live children’s show. Coqui was called the Latino Phil Collins in Peru because of his appearance, enhanced by his garb of white shirt, slacks, and suspenders; plus, he sang popular English-language songs in English. He acquired that nickname while hired to play hotels, clubs, and outdoor stages in the jungle area of Peru near the Amazon River. Coqui also played cruises on the Pacific Ocean coast of Peru and at casinos in Lima. The Phil Collins moniker is somewhat more appropriate for Coqui due to his singing voice, a strong tenor passionate on the high notes and cozy on the low ones. Also, his use of synthesizers, rock guitars, and danceable tempos further the image, as does the degree of arrangement of his tracks. When doing live shows, Coqui performs by himself using his own -- literally -- backing music. He records the instrumentation track by track to computer, leaving one instrument out on each song; when performing, he plays the missing instrument and sings. Coqui said it may look easy on stage from the audience’s vantage point, but it took a lot of work to arrange and sequence all the music. The lyrical themes Coqui uses are social, actual experiences, and everyday living. Among his social themed songs is one he wrote about President Fujimori and his two primary henchmen/advisors during Fujimori’s corrupt reign. Titled “Los Intocables” (which translates as “The Untouchables”), Coqui found it difficult to record the song while in Peru, stating that he was pressured by censors not to. He did record the song toward the end of Fujimori's reign. With his arrangement skills and his experience in documentaries and jingles, one of Coqui's objectives sounds like a natural progression. Coqui has a goal of scoring a movie soundtrack in the future. He also aspires to sign a record label deal and do his live shows. His hope is to always give all my talent to serve people and make life a little bit better for everyone. Then, he added, Thank God I’m alive.
