Hudobný portál

Bananarama je anglická dievčenská hudobná skupina, ktorá mala niekoľko hitov v 80. rokoch 20. storočia.

Doteraz mali desať TOP 10 piesní v britských rebríčkoch a tri v amerických rebríčkoch, pričom s jednou piesňou dosiahli aj na vrchol rebríčka. Medzi ich najväčšie medzinárodné hity patria „Cruel Summer“, „Venus“, „Love in the First Degree“ a „I Heard a Rumour“.

Skupina je známa svojim jedinečným vokálnym štýlom, ktorý je výnimočný tým, že všetky členky skupiny dokážu spievať v rovnakej výške, v súzvuku, na rozdiel od trojhlasových harmónií. Hlavné vokály ako aj pozadie boli nahraté týmto spôsobom a väčšina ich materiálu zo začiatku bola nahrávaná všetkými troma členkami naraz pri jednom mikrofóne.

Bananarama je aktívna do dnešných dní ako duo, ostatným vydaným počinom je vianočný singel "Baby It's Christmas" z 13. decembra 2010.
