The Sunday Music Drop is a weekly radio series hosted by the KQED weekend news team. In each segment, we feature a song from a local musician or band with an upcoming show and hear about what inspires their music.

The San Francisco band Sally Mango self-describes as an indie band with an R&B soul, with Brazilian and classic rock rhythmic inspiration.

Lyricist Zia Grossman-Vendrillo says their song ‘”Sidewalk” tries to communicate the feeling of “grooving during the apocalypse.” The song is on the album “Farewell to the Golden Barrel Cactus,” which is the product of band’s work during the first two years of the COVID-19 pandemic. 

In addition to Grossman-Vendrillo, band members include songwriter Rohan Sahai, Charlie Buffa, Michael Scheufele, Julia Chanin and Austin Appel.

Sally Mango is playing at Amado’s in San Francisco on Oct. 8, 2022.
