Mango Groove are back with a vengeance! Thumping out the finest selection of great South African music as only they can - a unique and magical blend of African ‘marabi' and ‘kwela' carefully blended with modern pop international influences and capped with the internationally recognisable voice of our own superstar - Claire Johnston!

This multi-platinum selling band was the first to re-define live staging and production standards for South African acts; the first to command a million Rand sponsorship deal, and were the first and only group to remain at the top of the South Africa's national sales charts for over a year.
 

Internationally, Mango Groove’s unique and magical blend of South African marabi, kwela and pop influences, together with the voice and presence of Claire Johnston and the evocative penny whistle melodies of Mduduzi Magwaza, has captivated audiences around the World.
