Biography
Formed in the early 1970s, Mandingo was formed by British band leader, conductor, and easy listening/exotica legend Geoff Love (born on September 4, 1917, in Todmorden, Yorkshire, England). After a series of albums and sessions in the 1950s and 1960s, he chose to move in a different direction and formed the studio project Mandingo with help from producer Norman Newell. Although the exotica craze had long since passed, Geoff Love chose to revive the genre with a group that would feature brass, early electronic experiments and boisterous exotic drums. Both Geoff Love and Newell brought in session musicians to record the album The Primeval Rhythm of Life, which was released in 1973. While the band released three additional albums - Sacrifice (1973), Mandingo III (1974), and Savage Rite (1977) - the groupâs most popular and influential album remains The Primeval Rhythm of Love. With a mix of space age exotica, primitive electronica, and tribal rhythms, Mandingo recreated exotica and became part of a short-lived movement in the UK. When he laid the Mandingo project to rest after the release of their fourth album, Geoff Love continued to create easy listening budget albums up through the late 1970s. He died on July 8, 1991, in London, England.
