El Baile Alemán (Spanish: The German Dance) is a 2000 album by Señor Coconut Y Su Conjunto (Uwe Schmidt). It is an album of Kraftwerk covers done in a Latin American style.
Some track purposely add some Latin themes into the the songs that are not in the original Kraftwerk lyrics, such as adding "cha-cha-chas". On the song "Autobahn" the radio transmission is from Latin Radio dial tuning.
The song "Home Computer" also has some lyrics from "It's More fun to Compute" from the album Computer World.
