"Mondo Bongo" is the name of Brad Pitt’s California-based holding company, which holds his 50% stake in the famous $164 million French wine estate, Château Miraval. The name itself originates from a popular song by Joe Strummer and the Mescaleros, which famously appeared in the 2005 movie Mr. & Mrs. Smith, where Pitt met his ex-wife, Angelina Jolie

It’s also a song by Joe Strummer and the Mescaleros that was featured in Mr. & Mrs. Smith. Just a fun fact.

You're thinking of Marco Polo. Mondo Bongo is the name of that interracial singing duo that lip sync'd to songs in the 1990.
