The vibrant and dynamic Taranaki based 9-piece band, Banana Mundo, is thrilled to announce the release of their latest single, Driving Around. Known for their electrifying live performances and a unique blend of musical styles, Banana Mundo takes listeners on a journey with a song that encapsulates the freedom and exhilaration of hitting the road.

Driving Around is a lively, upbeat track that combines the infectious grooves of funk with the warm rhythms of Latin music, creating a sound that is both fresh and nostalgic. The song aims to evoke the joy and adventure of embarking on a road trip, capturing the sense of escape and discovery that comes with driving through unknown landscapes.

Banana Mundo has always stood out for their ability to merge diverse musical genres into a cohesive and compelling sound. With Driving Around, the band continues to push the boundaries, offering a track that is not only a testament to their musicianship but also a celebration of life's simple pleasures.

Front man André Manella said, "With Driving Around, we wanted to create a soundtrack for those moments when you just want to escape the routine and explore the world around you. It's a song for anyone who's ever felt the thrill of the open road and the freedom it represents."

Recorded with the energy and passion that Banana Mundo is celebrated for, Driving Around features the band's full nine-piece lineup, including horns, percussion, and a rhythm section that brings the song's vibrant textures to life.

The single is available from Friday 8th March across all major streaming platforms, inviting listeners to kick off their own journeys, whether literal or metaphorical.
