Mango Groove

African Pop

Mango Groove is under any description a great and much loved South African institution: Having cut its teeth on the mid-80’s SA alternative music scene (difficult times indeed for non-racial South African acts), the group exploded into the national consciousness with the release of its 10 times Platinum debut album in 1989. 

Since then the group, with its uniquely eclectic, Big Band ‘’MarabiPop’’ sound has truly captured the hearts of all South Africans both here and all around the world. 
Powered by Claire’s utterly distinctive, soaring vocals, and featuring the unique texturing of the penny whistle and big band Marabi horns, Mango Groove has racked up a host of achievements throughout the years, and has firmly established itself as one of South Africa’s most recognised and loved music icons.
