Bio
Mango Groove was selected by the editors of New Hampshire Magazine "Best Steel Band" 2005!
The Flavor of the Caribbean
Mango Groove is a six-member steel band consisting of five voices using fourteen pans - lead pan, alto pans, cello pans, guitar pans and bass pans - and a conventional drum set and various percussion instruments.
We play a variety of dance music - calypso, reggae, jazz, motown, and more - all with a Caribbean flavor that only the uplifting rhythmic sounds of a steel band can create.
Our performances and workshops include Afro-Caribbean drumming and dance. The audience is invited to learn the dances, do the Limbo, "jump up" and join in the fun.
A new world of rhythm, melody and movement is all part of the Mango Groove experience.
"Mango Groove's sound consists of rich dulcet tones over a complexity of soft rhythms... a beautiful and tightly arranged selection of traditional and popular tunes." - Peter White, music columnist, Conway Daily Sun.
