Radio Mango is a pop band focused on writing original music influenced by a wide range of ethnic flavors and styles – from lively African dance beats to smooth Latin and Caribbean grooves to the complex rhythms of the Balkans. Radio Mango was pieced together beginning in late 2004 through a number of ads placed on Craigslist. By early 2005 the core of the band was in place, and in June Radio Mango played its first show at Wise Fools Pub in Chicago. Shortly before their first performance, the band took the name Radio Mango in homage to Radio Wanhatti, the tiny Suriname station that kept percussionist John entertained while in the Peace Corps. Since then the band has played a number of leading venues throughout the Chicago area, including the House of Blues, developing a loyal and growing fan base. Radio Mango’s Holiday Song was featured on 93.1 FM WXRT's 14th Annual Local Anesthetic Holiday Spectacular in December 2005. Also in 2005, band member Arthur Judys was highlighted in Amerikos Lietuvis - The Lithuanian American Weekly newspaper. |
