Ramatam was an early 70s American rock band with lead guitarist April Lawton and singer and guitarist Mike Pinera (formerly of Iron Butterfly) on vocals and guitar. Mitch Mitchell of The Jimi Hendrix Experience played drums on their 1972 selftitled debut, produced by legendary Tom Dowd. Internal quarrel led to Mitchell and Pinera leaving before the recording the 2nd and final album, "In April Came The Dawning Of The Red Suns", recorded as a trio in 1973. In 1974 the band collapsed due to inner and outer pressure about the band's direction.
Carlos Michael Pinera (September 29, 1948 – November 20, 2024) was an American guitarist, singer, songwriter and producer who started professionally in the late 1960s with the group Blues Image. After the breakup of that group, he joined Iron Butterfly, and later formed the group Ramatam. Pinera was then the founding member of the band New Cactus, a later incarnation of the band Cactus. He was the lead guitarist for Alice Cooper from 1980 to 1982.
