Bandua

  • Penha SCO Cooperativa Rua Neves Ferreira Lisboa, Lisboa, 1170 Portugal (map)

One of the many delightful highlights of our trip to Lisbon & WOMEX was spending time with the amazing band Bandua.

Bandua takes the centuries-old, traditional music from the Beira Baixa region of Portugal, and re-imagines it with a downbeat, electronic folk reinterpretation.

Influenced by pagan and Moorish traditions, Beira Baixa is steeped in ancient culture with a rugged, hyper-regionalized history of folk music.

Their performance and story are a delight. We hope you like it and share it.

Great interview from our friends at Rhythm Passport

This was filmed at the amazing PENHA SCO Arte Cooperativa in Lisbon.
