The Drongos: The Drongos were a quartet of New Zealanders that performed from 1979-1986 primarily in New York City. They were notable for their successful "busking" performances on busy Manhattan street corners. The New York Times called their eponymous first album, "a delightful melange of funk rhythms, country harmonies, precisely layered electric guitar counterpoint and airy folk-rock sounds, with many influences, old and new, absorbed into a delightfully original sound." Members of The Drongos all moved to New York from New Zealand in 1978 and included: Richard Kennedy, Tony McMaster, Jean McAllister, and Stanley John Mitchell Albums: The Drongos Proteus Records (1984) Small Miracles Proteus Records (1984)
