about

Bando is a new collaborative effort between veteran musicians of Puerto Rico’s rock scene, including Agustín Criollo (Astrid Pröll) and Gaby Vidal (Ongo, Similar), focussed on exploring the music of the African diaspora through the classic and revolutionary Afrobeat sound. The group follows Fela Kuti into fertile territories for musical exploration such as bomba and Afro-American funk, inviting us to lose ourselves in dance without shying away from political lyrics that reflect the island’s struggles. Bando are currently recording their debut, and have graciously offered us eight-minute scorcher Serembé as a web exclusive for this month's edition of the MAP.

Bando es un nuevo esfuerzo colaborativo entre músicos veteranos de la escena del rock puertorriqueña, incluyendo a Agustín Criollo (Astrid Pröll) y Gaby Vidal (ONGO, Similar), que se enfocan ahora en explorar la música de la diáspora africana a través del sonido clásico y revolucionario del Afrobeat. El grupo sigue a Fela Kuti hacia terrenos fértiles para la exploración musical como la bomba y el funk afro-americano, invitándonos a perdernos en el baile, pero sin obviar la letra política sobre los problemas de la isla. Bando actualmente graban su disco debut, pero nos han ofrecido Serembé como exclusiva para el MAP.
