Super Mama Djombo is a band from Guinea Bissau who sing in Guinea-Bissau Creole.
They would often play at President Luís Cabral's public speeches, and their concerts were broadcast live on radio.
The band included several of the original members, drummer Zé Manel, guitarist Miguelinho N'Simba, percussionist Armando Vaz Pereira and Djon Motta,[7] together with new members such as solo guitarist Fernando Correia from the band Freaky Sound.
