Patti Smith - Banga: Wikipedia Album Entry
Banga is eleventh studio album by American rock musician Patti Smith. The Banga Songfacts reports that the record was recorded throughout 2011 at New York's Electric Lady Studios and was released on June 1, 2012 on Columbia Records.

Asked at a playback for the record why she named the album after a dog,” Smith replied. “I dunno. I like dogs. I can’t really have one in New York, so I compensated by naming my album after a dog.”
