One of the most obscure Brazilian rock bands, Bango has released an album that is considered to be one of the best of our national rock of the first half of the seventies. The self titled album offers a psychedelic, rock-like sound with a dash of Beatles ballad.
The quintet formed by Aramis de Barros and Fernando on guitars, Elydio on bass, Roosevelt on organ and Max Pierre on drums is actually The Cannibals with another name and another musical proposal. Unfortunately there is very little information available about the band acting under the Bango nickname. Like The Cannibals, the band established itself as one of the most respected dance bands during the sixties, and resident band of television programs during the Young Guard.
In the 70`s, they follow the influences of the time where the national rock post Tropicalismo happened to be reflected more and more in the Mutants, becoming significantly heavier. Along with the change in musical design came the name change, Bango being one of several species of cannabis, found in northeastern Africa.
They released in 1971 by Musicdisc the self titled album that is today one of the rarest and most sought after albums of our national rock. Afterwards, they were able to put on the market a simple compact before closing activities. Although there has not yet been any attempt to make an official CD release, some tracks can be found in compilations covering national psychedelic, mainly in the foreign market.
