Mango Season came to life on the Honolulu music scene in 2009 as an acoustic Hawaiian folk duo performing on the streets and in the dive bars of Chinatown. Evolving their sound to incorporate vintage soul, jazz-infused harmonies and funk groove, the members draw inspiration from the sounds of Earth, Wind & Fire, Chicago, Pink Martini, Sérgio Mendes & Brasil ’66, Steely Dan, and Kalapana.
