May of 2010 goes down in history by the joining of Pedro Tatanka and Miguel Casais as a band .“The Black Mamba”, a name that baptizes the group and the debut album, was the inspiration found so that together they could taste their own poison. The chemistry and experience of these great musicians, recognized ambassadors ok well-known projects in their countries of origin, Portugal (Aurea, Richie Campbell) and Brazil (Ed Motta, Gabriel O Pensador, Banda Black Rio), allowed them to travel the universe of blues, soul and funk, in an adaptation to their natural habitat.

The hibernation period devoted to rehearsing, writing, recording and producing their first work takes exactly two years until the snake builds its identity. May 2012 officially marks the presentation of “The Black Mamba” with an advance single absolutely lethal, “It Ain’t You”.
