Bandakadabra - Entomology

Founded in 2005 in Torino, Bandakadabra is a brass band playing nearly everything from Balkan to jazz, Latin and Jamaican rocksteady. Along with such a wide-range repertoire, Bandakadabra blends music with improvisational sketch comedy. The result is an exhilarating show that stuns audiences, from theatres to city streets. Since 2012, they played over 200 gigs and have been invited to play in some of the most important music festivals in Europe: Durham Brass Festival (2012-2013), Edinburgh Jazz Festival (2013-2014), Torino Jazz Festival (2013), along with long-time residencies at the Musica sulle Bocche Jazz Festival and the Sant'Anna Arresi Jazz Festival, two of the most important and long-lived music events in Italy.
