Joachim Cooder is a musician who leads a double life; he's a celebrated percussionist who has worked with a number of respected roots and world music artists, while he also records as a headliner, where his primary instrument is the electric mbira, a variation on the traditional African thumb piano. As a sideman, his adaptable style has found him working with the legendary Cuban ensemble Buena Vista Social Club and inventive Indian instrumentalist Vishwa Mohan Bhatt. As a bandleader, his sound is an atmospheric blend of folk, blues, and African music that encompasses familiar themes with an otherworldly instrumental texture. Cooder's music is best heard on the 2017 EP Fuchsia Machu Picchu and the 2020 album Over That Road I'm Bound.
Joachim Cooder has also released music as a member of Hello Stranger and Buena Vista Social Club.
