Mango, stage name of Giuseppe ("Pino") Mango (6 November 1954 – 7 December 2014), was an Italian singer-songwriter and musician. He was known for his style which fuses pop, folk, world music, the frequent use of odd time signatures and for his high vocal range.

On 7 December 2014 Mango suffered a heart attack while performing the song "Oro" during a concert in Policoro, province of Matera, aged 60.[1]

He was also the father of the singer Angelina Mango, who went to Eurovision Song Contest 2024.[2]
