About The Band

FATBACK MANGO is a funk/psychedelic soul band from Cleveland, OH. We mix our lively, dynamic originals - inspired by the sounds of 70’s funk - with heavy groove and Afro-Cuban rhythms to cut our unique Mango style! In 2025, we played Collision Bend Brewery, Keyser Barn Summer Concert Series, Larchmere Porchfest, Waterloo Arts Festival, The Cleveland Garlic Festival, Riverfest 2025 and more! 2026 is approaching, so get ready for more funk steady!
