***********************************************************
MANGO MACHINE was founded in 1986 in Kokkola, Finland, when a group of young players got
together to play fusion jazz, a style of music that was not so popular at that time. Our influences comprised of musicians and bands like Chick Corea, Mezzoforte, Yellowjackets, Koinonia and the Rippingtons.
Soon a set of songs was composed and arranged, and we needed gigs. In the early 1990’s we
took part in many major jazz-festivals in Finland, such as Kainuun Jazzkevät, Pori Jazz
and Kaamosjazz (several times). We even played a warm-up gig for Tomas Ledin in Kokkola,
which was also broadcast on TV. In 1992 the band played its last concert, after that
families, work and studies put the band on hold.
We never quit, we just had an extended vacation, like The Eagles said, so we were hoping
to play together once more. So, after 10 years, in the summer of 2006 we decided to put
the band together again, added with a couple of new players. After 12 long years, we
played live again in our home town, and what a warm welcome we got! We continued our
gigs later the same year in Tankavaara, Lapland, at Kaamosjazz-festival. There we played four times altogether.
Mango Machine’s repertoire consists of both original songs and cover tunes.******************

Kokkolalainen MANGO MACHINE perustettiin vuonna 1986, jolloin joukko innokkaita soittajia kokoontui tuolloin ei niin muodikkaan fuusiojazzin merkeissä. Esikuvina olivat mm. Chick Corea, Mezzoforte, Yellowjackets, Koinonia ja The Rippingtons.
Pian biisejä tehtiin ja sovitettiin siihen malliin, että keikalle oli mieli.
1990 -luvun taitteessa koluttiin mm. Kainuun Jazzkevät, Pori Jazz sekä Kaamos-jazz useampaan kertaan. Tomas Ledinin lämmityskeikka jäi historiankirjoihin myös televisioituna keikkana. Bändiä vahvistettiin tuolloin kahdella laulajalla, pasuunalla sekä toisella trumpetistilla.
Vuonna 1992 bändi heitti viimeisen yhteisen keikkansa, jonka jälkeen perhe- ym. asiat veivät bändin luovalle tauolle.Takaraivossa kyti paluun halu yli kymmenen vuotta ja kesällä 2006 päätettiin pistää porukka jälleen kasaan höystettynä muutamalla uudella soittajalla.
Treenaamiselle asetettiin kunnianhimoinen maali ja 12 vuoden tauon jälkeen palasimme lavalle kotikaupungissamme Kokkolassa, jossa yleisö otti meidät todella lämpimästi vastaan!
Keikat jatkuivat heti syksyn huipennuksella Kaamos - Jazzissa Tankavaarassa ja Saariselällä neljän keikan verran. Homma tuntui niin hyvältä, että vakaa aikomus on soittaa niin kauan kuin kamat käsissä pysyvät.
Yhtyeen ohjelmisto koostuu sekä omista että muiden sävellyksistä.

You Rock HMTV Canada eZine HMTV Canada www.hmtvcanada.com band interviews: hmtvcanada@gmail.com to get on our list hola I want a interview include band bio or links;)
You are an North-African immigrant to Spain or a South-American trying to get into US who has not much more than a few suitcases, his ability to work hard, willing to pay with slavery and to do dirty work - work that no inhabitant of the country you want to go to would even think of considering. You already travelled a far way and left many good friends behind that you maybe never will see again.
You stumble out of the nearly falling apart bus or the smuggler boat, where you had to pay your income of a half year to that grim looking people with hearts of stone - just to take you aboard. You are sighing gladly that you survived the travel and now take your first steps in your new home country.
And you are soon aware: You are disrespected, treated badly, your woman is seen as a kind of cheap prostitute, other people's children don't want to play with your children.
You are thinking of your former homecountry with feelings of sentimentality and you know there is no hope: you cannot go back... Wish you a successfull week Art
