King Chango [Vinyl] (ONLINE ORDER ONLY)

In the early 90s, David Byrne was at SOBs to see the legendary Mexican group CafÈ Tacuba. The opener was an unknown NYC band that went by King ChangÛ. David came back from the show raving about an incredible, vivacious singer who climbed all over the speakers and leapt around the stage. He thought it was one of the best performances hed ever seen and that Luaka Bop should sign them. We did.
King ChangÛ was the first Latin rock band signed to an American label, and their singer, AndrÈs Blanquito Man Blanco, was indeed a force of nature. We released two King ChangÛ albums, featuring members who went on to start playing in bands such as the Dap Kings and Antibalas. Blanquito Man unfortunately passed away in 2017 after a long battle with liver cancer. Luaka Bop is releasing these albums on vinyl for the first time as a tribute to him, and in gratitude of King ChangÛs die-hard fans.
