Biography

Bananarama, the U.K. pop group, emerged in the '80s as post-punk renegades, reshaping the girl group sound with hits like "Shy Boy" and "Cruel Summer." Their dance connections propelled international success, culminating in the blockbuster hit "Venus" in 1986. Despite lineup changes, Keren Woodward and Sarah Dallin continued to thrive, with a 2019 album "In Stereo" marking a chart resurgence, followed by their 40th-anniversary celebration with "Masquerade" in 2022.

Formed by childhood friends Keren Woodward and Sarah Dallin, Bananarama's indie hit "Aie a Mwana" led to collaborations with Fun Boy Three and hits like "Really Saying Something" and "Shy Boy." Their breakthrough in the U.S. with "Cruel Summer" in 1984 paved the way for international success, including the number one hit "Venus." Despite lineup changes, the duo's enduring appeal was evident in their chart-topping releases like "Wow!" and the recent electro-pop gems of "Masquerade," released in 2022 to commemorate their 40th anniversary.
