MANDRILL's reputation as a "World Music Group"
and "Champions for Peace" began with their
self-titled debut album, which contained the epic
composition "Peace and Love." This amazing
suite was performed to a standing room only audience
at Philharmonic Hall in New York City three decades
ago.
Their most recent project is the very first "live"
presentation of the legendary Funk/R&B/Latin/Jazz/Rock
band and features a compendium of MANDRILL's greatest
hits. it captures the raw magic for which MANDRILL
is known, unmatched in power and versatility, including
such classic hits as "Fencewalk," "Mango
Meat," "House of Wood," "Peace
and Love" and others.
Their soon-to-be released seventeenth album continues
to promote positive messages of peace, harmony and
social justice. MANDRILL's tribute song to President
Obama "ABLESSING" with the commanding lead
vocals of Dwight Trible sends a message of hope and
love, struggle and triumph.
Still touring the U.S. and abroad, the Wilson Brothers
remain the driving force behind MANDRILL. The current
band is fueled by a new generation of multi-talented
musicians including Marc Rey, Arlan Schierbaum, Keith
Barry, Michael Beholden, Gemi Taylor and Stacey Lamont
Sydnor.
