"Maria is a living, breathing embodiment of the best ideals of the hippie generation. Born several decades too late to be part of the original Summer of Love, she nevertheless took up the tattered psychedelic banner of the flower children, and carries it with love and affection. Whether busking on the Haight, performing in Hawaiian clubs, or serenading Burners on the Playa, she poses the same question eloquently asked by another musician -- "What's so funny about peace, love and understanding?" -- and shows us all that one can live with grace, beauty, and positive energy in a broken world." ~Michael Marinacci
“Maria Mango has shown us that we can enjoy life and the abundance of mother earth through love, compassion and sharing. So rare are those in today’s sea of humanity to give us such beauty and joy in music laced deeply with unconditional love. Maria Mango is a wonderous blessing." ~James Beckett
“Maria Mango is a shining star. Everytime I have been in her presence she has such a big glowing smile on her face. Her songs are so fun & full of inspiration and truth. We need more free spirited people like her around.” ~Manaka
"She is a butterfly made of colorful Light and she beams many rays of delight.
She is eternal like Love, Living in the Now. She is as playful as a child and wise like an ancient tree. She is a living example of Joy and Gratitude is her lifestyle. She deciphers what the birds sing about, on each and every music album she creates. She is a Soul Sister of humanity. . . . and I Love her dearly." ~Gemini
"Maria Mango is a light!!! She is a walking mango colored love light! So bright like a beautiful sunset, only nicer and more entertaining, (she can play all night, lets see the sun do that!) I am wholly sure that great things are in her future as well as her past and present." ~Glass blower Dan
"Sweetness in light, beauty takes flight on the wings of an angeldove, singing sweetly of the things we only know in dreams, through her song she brings the dream to life....spirit filled bliss baby, bringing the life back to me, caught me in the winter of my life, the vibrant rays of her song piercing through the haze of self-defeat, causing my heart to flutter and skip a beat....radiant queen of the ONE domain, shining her light so we all can see that we truly are the SAME soul, wrapped in myriad colors weaving together this fine day in the nowness of eternity!!" ~Nate Stevens
"I know you are one of the coolest human beings in existence, Maria. Your love emanates from Source, awakening us to the truth that is everyone and everything. May your radiance fill the universe!" ~E. T. Nada
"In the end, love is the only medicine that can heal the wounds of the world. In this universe, it is love that binds everything together. Love is the very foundation, beauty, and fulfillment of life. If we dive deep enough into ourselves, we will find that the one thread of universal love ties all beings together. As this awareness dawns within us, all disharmony will cease. Abiding peace alone will reign!" ~Amma
"If someone thinks that love and peace is a cliché that must have been left behind in the Sixties, that's his problem. Love and peace are eternal." - John Lennon

Maria Mango is truly an artist at life. A seasoned traveler and street performer, she carries with her little more than a ukulele and a smile, singing her sweet tunes of unity and love on sidewalks and in subways, in cafes and around campfires. When one listens to her sing, it becomes easy to believe a better world is possible through the simple kindness of the human heart.
Maria's music has a message of peace and unconditional love that is timeless and universal. Her songs are simple and upbeat with singalong choruses that make everyone feel like a part of it all. She has the ability to bring the intimacy of a campfire to any venue she plays. Her songs have the power to inspire community, to heal hearts, and soothe souls. If you see her busking on a street corner sometime, stick around for a song or two, she's sure to make you smile!

Be someone who listens, and you will be heard. Be someone who cares, and you will be loved. Be someone who gives, and you will be blessed. Be someone who comforts, and you will know peace.
Be someone who genuinely seeks to understand, and you will be wise. Be someone kind, someone considerate, and you will be admired. Be someone who values truth, and you will be respected. Be someone who takes action, and you will move life forward.
Be someone who lifts others higher, and your life will be rich. Be someone filled with gratitude, and there will be no end to the things for which you'll be thankful.
Be someone who lives with joy, with purpose, as your own light brightly shines. Be in every moment, the special someone you are truly meant to be.
