Mau Mau

Mau Mau has been used a few times by different recording artists. Organized by date of inception, it may refer to:

1. A Neue Deutsche Welle (NDW) band from Düsseldorf, Germany. They released two singles, "Auf Der Jagd" (7"), "Herzschlag" (7"), and one full-length, Kraft on Polydor in 1982.

2. A Turin-based Italian band. The band was formed in 1991 on the initiative of Luca Morino, Fabio Barovero and, from Cameroon, Bienvenu Tatè Nsongan. The musical project is a link of the African and South American rhythms. The name is based on the Kenyan movement against British colonial administration. But Mau Mau in the Piedmontese indicates those people who come from far, often with cheap difficulties.
In 1992 they publish their first discographer work in Piedmontese: the EP Soma la macia (We are the scrub). Peter Gabriel notices them and he invites the band to his Real World Studios to prepare the first album: Sauta Rabel (Let's Jump, Let's Make Such a Row). After the album, a tour begin and the band frequents important festivals. The band plays to the "Palestine International Dance & Music Festival" and to the "International Festival of Babylon", in Iraq.

3. A Portuguese punk band
