Mandrill

There are two bands with this name: 1)A NY-based psychedelic afrobeat band from the '70s. 2)A Croatian rock band, later changed their name to Mandrili 1. An eclectic band from Brooklyn, NY most often categorized as "funk", though their influences range from rock, blues, jazz, and African and Latin music as well. Their early albums (Mandrill, Mandrill Is, Composite Truth, Just Outside Of Town, and Mandrilland) are sometimes wild and experimental and sometimes danceable and fun, often times both at once.
