History

Bananarama is an English pop group formed in London in September 1980, when childhood friends Sara Dallin and Keren Woodward moved from Bristol and teamed up with Siobhan Fahey. Rooted in the London punk and post-punk scene, the trio recorded their debut single, a Swahili-language cover called "Aie a Mwana," in 1981 with help from ex-Sex Pistols Steve Jones and Paul Cook, whose rehearsal space they lived above. Their sound moved into bright, hook-driven synth-pop and dance-pop, delivering hits such as "Cruel Summer," "Robert De Niro's Waiting," "Venus" (a US number one in 1986), and "Love in the First Degree." Fahey left in 1988, replaced by Jacquie O'Sullivan; after O'Sullivan's 1991 departure, Dallin and Woodward carried on as a duo, later reuniting briefly with Fahey in 2017. Bananarama scored 28 UK top-50 and 11 US top-100 singles, and the Guinness Book of World Records has credited them as the all-female group with the most chart entries in history.
