Before he became known to the world as El Guincho, Pablo Diaz-Reixa was simply Pablo (or Mr Diaz-Reixa), and his music was released through the band he started with friends Jens Neumaier and Christian Subira called Coconot. Cosa Astral is Coconot's second LP and features their singature blend of latin, Carribean, folk, experimental rock and punk. The compositions have a slightly more organic feel than El Guincho's solo material, based as they are on instrumentation more than sampled loops.
