Bananarama Remixes

Hard to believe, but the ladies of Bananarama first made waves back in 1981 with their debut single “Aie A Mwana.” It missed the US Billboard Hot 100, but managed to make an appearance on the Dance Club Play Chart, peaking at #66. They’ve continued charting on the dance chart, and managed to snag a #1 hit with “Venus.”

Originally consisting of three members, Sara Dallin, Keren Woodward, and Siobhan Fahey, Siobhan left the group in 1988 to pursue a new direction in music. She ended up forming the pop-rock band Shakespear’s Sister, while Sara and Karen kept recording and performing new dance music as Bananarama.

In 2017, the original 3 members reunited to go on a North American and European Tour. But once the tour was over, Siobhan went back to Shakespear’s Sister, while Sara and Karen went back into the studio to record their next album as the Bananarama duo.
