Lakki Patey (born 3 September 1958) is an English-Norwegian guitarist and inventor. He moves between musical styles and has also invented the language game and cultural concept New Amigos. He is the younger brother of the jazz guitarist Bent Patey.
Patey led the bands Some Like It Hot, Hot Cubano and Windflowers. He has toured the US and Europe and has been a guest artist among others with Michael Ruff & The Yellow Jackets. In 1999 released the album Hot Cubano, where he brought four musicians from Cuba to Norway for the recording and a nationwide tour.
Patey's compositions are used for teaching materials, as well as on international successes like Café del Mar, A Winter’s Solstice and Northern Lights. The tune Mexico is used in TV commercials for New Amigos in Mexico. In 1985 he created the ambient «Eventyrland» for fanciful scenes in Trollgrotten, contained inside the Troll of Hunderfossen Familiepark.
