NEW Mandrill &lrm&ndash Mandrilland CD

Never Opened Still in original packaging Mandrill was formed in Brooklyn in 1968 by three multi-instrumentalist brothers Louis Richard and Carlos Wilson all of whom originally hailed from Panama. After running an ad in the Village Voice they were soon joined by Omar Mesa Claude Cave Charlie Padro and Bundie Cenac. Between them this seven man group could play over 20 instruments. Although often labeled a funk or RnB band Mandrill is much more than just that. Their music combines those two genres with jazz rock classic Latin music and styles of their own creation often mixing all this together in the same song. Their albums are often composed of multi-movement songs that blend together to make a long running urban tone poem. In concert their songs are often taken to great lengths with creative improvisations.Although different band members have come and gone over the years the three original brothers still remain and they are often joined onstage by their musically talented children. Mandrill continues to tour and record to this day inspiring many with their complex rhythms arrangements and lyrics about spirituality peace love and brotherhood. Asking Price 75 Or Make An Offer
