Mankala Band

The Mankala Band have been performing their unique “High Energy-Pan-African-Influenced-Mix” up and down the UK since 2003, from stages far and wide to the local bars, pubs and venues of their home town of Bristol to the internationally renowned Jazz World Stage at Glastonbury Festival, via the beautiful fields and stages of Shambala, Green Man, Sunrise, Mannifest, Secret Garden, Larmer Tree, Bestival and many more.
A grooving force formed by a multicultural collective of versed musicians, The Mankala Band has one common vision: to create Joyous Roots Dance Music! In 2007, the band independently released their only album recorded to date "Speak Your Mind". Since it’s origins, the band has transformed, adapted and evolved yet has always maintained the original core energy and philosophy... Good vibes produce good music, good music produce good vibes!
