Bandabardò

Emerging within Italy's folk and rock circles during the initial years of the 1990s, Bandabardó focused their efforts on acoustic performances featuring lyrics that promoted optimistic themes. The ensemble originated through the collaboration of vocalist and composer Enrico Erriquez Greppi alongside guitarist A.M. Finaz, with subsequent additions including percussionist Paolino, bassist Don Bachi, guitarist Andrea Orlandini known alternatively as Orla, and C.C. Cantini. Bandabardó put out an EP during 1994 before unveiling their first full-length record, Il Circo Mangione, in 1996, which preceded the releases of Iniziali: Bi Bi in 1998, Barbaro Tour in 1999, and Mojito Football Club in 2000.
