About
The Incredible Bongo Band, also known as Michael Viner's Incredible Bongo Band, was a project started in 1972 by Michael Viner, a record artist manager and executive at MGM Records; producer, MGM Records executive, and Curb Records founder Mike Curb; and arranger Perry Botkin Jr. Viner was called on to supplement the soundtrack of the B-film The Thing With Two Heads. The band's output consisted of upbeat, funky instrumental music. Many tracks were covers of popular songs of the day that were characterized by the prominence of bongo drums, conga drums, rock drums, and brass.
