LOCATION:The Anvil
DESCRIPTION:Papa Shango – Biography Papa Shango are a twelve piece rock b
 and\, resplendent with backing singers and dancers\, they put on extraordi
 narily large\, vivid and entertaining rock shows. “Lunatic rap rock and 
 oddness” – Kerrang “Highly skilled musicians with fine song writing 
 nous\, they’re nothing like anything you’ve seen or heard before” 
 –Herts live “The internet killed live music…Papa Shango are saving i
 t” NME. Papa Shango are from various provincial towns in Hertfordshire a
 nd Essex. They formed many years ago at a central musician’s hub\, known
  as “The Square” music venue in Harlow (Essex). That venue has since s
 adly been knocked down to build a municipal car park! Out of the ashes (an
 d bricks and plasterboard and sticky floor) they met\, and blossomed into 
 a live beast now unleashed. Papa Shango have had many musical achievements
  over the years. Collectively they have played and headlined numerous musi
 c venues up and down the county. Including festivals such as Boomtown\, Be
 arded Theory\, Standon Calling and many more. They have been supported by 
 Republica and Alex Bay and have supported many bands including Skunk Anans
 ie\, Toploader\, Black Grape and many other festival favourites. Individua
 lly\, Papa Ryan (bass) was George Ezra’s music lecturer at college and t
 he first one to hear and help on his mega chart hit “Shotgun”\, Papa R
 yan has also played bass on the recording of 40 Watt Sun’s album which w
 as glowingly reviewed in Rolling Stone magazine (America). Many moons ago 
 Papa Rob’s (vocals) metal band “Fruit Tree” were signed to metal lab
 el Copro who supported Napalm Death around Europe. Papa Steve (guitar) sti
 ll plays in Collapsed Lung and had chart success with their song “Eat my
  Goal”. Papa Shango’s genuine eclectic and eccentric sound could maybe
  be described as a heavier version of The Darkness with a touch of Rage ag
 ainst the Machine and a dash of James Blunt. Most importantly\, included i
 n the Papa sound are female lead vocals (Mama Karen)\, and backing singers
  “The Pappettes”. Dammed by the pandemic\, Papa Shango had to put thei
 r latest album on ice. However\, “Risk Assessment” their greatest opus
  to date will be released date August 25th 2022. "BUCKLE up and steel your
 self for the ride of your life when tongue-in-cheek rockers Papa Shango ta
 ke your venue by storm" Bishop Stortford Observer. “Papa Shango have a s
 tage show that most bands can only dream of” – Sonic Abuse “Their me
 lodic and catchy guitar riffs\, coupled with joyous lyrics makes for a spe
 ctacle you'd be mad to miss”. – Hertfordshire Mercury. "Papa Shango ar
 e a joyous spectacle\, resplendent in merriment and a true musical seventh
  wonder of the world" - The Guardian Music. “Go and get shangoed” BBC
