Tank and the Bangas

Hailing from New Orleans, Tank and the Bangas are a globally beloved, shapeshifting collective celebrated for their wildly original fusion of soul, hip-hop, and forward-thinking R&B. Led by singer Tarriona “Tank” Ball and multi-instrumentalist Norman Spence II, the group uses music as a vessel for unbridled joy and communal connection. Fresh off a GRAMMY win for their spoken-word powerhouse The Heart, The Mind, The Soul , they return to a euphoric, party-ready sound on their latest album, The Last Balloon . As the final installment in their acclaimed album trilogy, The Last Balloon blends raw emotionality with playful exuberance, featuring brilliant collaborations with the likes of Lucky Daye and Ledisi. Rooted in the improvisational poetry scene where they first connected, Tank and the Bangas have crafted a suite of songs designed to thrive on stage. Their highly interactive live shows promise a transcendent, healing experience that inevitably leaves the crowd uplifted.
