Back to All Events
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.
