Katango were a New Zealand synth-pop band from Auckland popular during the mid 80's.

They appeared as for guest performance on NZ Telethon^[1] and appeared on the music program Shazam! (hosted by Philip Schofield) numerous times that year. The were nominated for two categories in the NZ Music Awards in 1985, for Most Promising Male Artist (Lead singer Paul Eversden) and Most Promising Band (Katango)^[2]. They also won the Shazam!
